Matilda and I absolutely loved our TinyTalk sessions. We always looked forward to going because of the warm & friendly atmosphere. Jenny always made time to speak with each child and parent. It felt like a group - not like you were on a conveyer belt, which I've experienced elsewhere. Simply brilliant! I would recommend TinyTalk to ANYONE!
We started signing in mid Cheshire with Jenny Fraser when my daughter was 3 months old. It was the highlight of our week and as soon as we drove into the car park of the hall where the class was held, my daughter started squealing with excitement! At 10 months she made her 1st sign 'home'. She would often sign 'home' when we were walking up our street to our house-very quickly after that she started to sign many more words. My favourite was when she would sign 'please' she would sign it multiple times & very vigorously when she really wanted something-so much so that I worried she might end up with a sore chin!! She is now 2 & still signs, but less now than she used to-if she can't say the words she wants to make herself understood she will sign and speak to make it clear what she is saying! I now have another baby and my daughter is enjoying teaching him lots of signs-at the moment she loves saying 'well done' when he's eaten his food up! We all think Jenny, our teacher is fab & seems to have endless patience with all the noisy children, our daughter asks frequently if we are going to see Jenny today & is always so excited on the mornings she gets a positive response! I have alos made good 'mum' friends at the classes-more so than the many other groups I go to-I think this is because there is a good slot at the end to chat etc I highly recommend these classes to just about anyone who will listen-not only are they fun, educational & safe, but it's a great place to meet like-minded mums & dads and on top of this someone else makes you a fantastic cuppa & biscuit - what more could you want from a morning?!
I think baby signing is the key to a child's development. I first went to TinyTalk with my son, who is now 3 and it eased the parent/child frustrations of mis-communication as I could understand the sign to communicate more effectively with him from a very early age. This was the key reason why I now bring my twin girls as again communication has been much easier especially as twins traditionally speak later than individual babies. I recommend TinyTalk to ALL babies as it is the key to their development.
What can I say - brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! It's been great to see my daughter sign and try to speak the words too. Also to be able to tell everyone how clever she is! I HIGHLY recommend it & it's a good way to meet others too!
Just a quick note to thank you very much for the TinyTalk classes we've attended for 18 months, they have been brilliant and you have been so friendly & welcoming. they have helped Isobel's communication so much & made my life so much easier. TinyTalk was the 1st class we felt comfortable with, welcomed, supported and purposeful. we will recommend you to others & if there'e ever a number 2 - we'll be back!
