| Welcome to the TinyTalk classes of Charlie Richardson |
 Hi, I’m Charlie, mum to Thomas. I started signing with Thomas when he was 8 weeks old – by 12 weeks he was reacting & responding to them and I was able to "talk" to him (understand & be understood). Starting early gave him (and me!) chance to learn all the signs he needed to be come a little chatterbox. He always looked really chuffed when he could tell me what was on his mind. We thoroughly enjoyed learning baby sign language and want to give others the opportunity to experience and benefit from the classes as we have. Click on the class details button (above) to see where your local session is. We have a theme each week and the classes comprise of a mix of taught signs, action songs, play time for the little ones and a chance for you to relax, ask me questions and chat to other mums and dads! too (Grandparents / childminders / carers also welcome). Toddler (Talking!) classes are also now available! in these we build on your little ones language with a variety of numeracy & literacy games (eg. picture bingo, parachute) and encourage skills such as team work. You can also follow / find us on Twitter (TinyTalkSEbrum) and Facebook (TinyTalk : South East Birmingham & North Solihull) see buttons below. If you want to “try before you buy” keep an eye out for our taster sessions (On my Events & Announcements on here also on Netmums / Facebook / Twitter). If you can’t attend classes or are a Childcare professional our training courses on how to use TinyTalk signs within the workplace and of course the signs to use may be the thing for you – contact me for further info about training available in the West Midlands and to discuss your specific requirements. We hope you’ll join us (you can do so at any point in the term provided there is space in the class), if you have any queries please drop me a line. Speciality sessions (eg Birthday Parties) also available, call to find out more. X
