Miss Pam's Cat Song:

sing along...

Cats are independent pets, quiet friends, keep us calm.

Cats are independent pets, they like to play and hide.

Cats like bubbles, catch and pop, hide and seek hunt and stop.

March 15, 2024 - ISSUE of Peanut Butter, Pod-letter:

Word-worthy

"Why I am convinced without a doubt, that babies (and the adults who spend time with them) need my podcast."

TRANSCRIPT:

When you bring baby home, there are a million things to consider and navigate as everyone gets to know each other in this first year. Things are changing daily — heck, hourly!

The first year is also a tender time even as it is gruelling. You want to do the best for your baby.

And you are, hopefully, falling in love.

While taking care of her physical needs, you also know it’s important to talk, sing, read and play with your baby. You know that you are your child’s first teacher, the single most important key to their brain and language development.

It’s all a bit, well, overwhelming. Eeeek!

Enter SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST. I believe every family with a baby under 3 years needs my podcast, wherever they are in the world. Why? That’s easy…

SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST (STBP)

It is through play that babies learn about the world—themselves and others. Every episode of STBP is a screen-free invitation to play with words and language. The podcast helps families build a routine around language development.

It is designed to foster language development in a joyful way: it grows your baby’s vocabulary and comprehension, stimulates your baby’s imagination and curiosity through developmentally appropriate books, and teaches your baby about abstract concepts like emotions, counting—all without the distraction of a screen.

I used my 35 plus years of early literacy expertise to create this screen-free tool for a young child and the parents or caregivers. Every episode is theater to a baby’s ears, capturing their attention with the sounds within words, the music, intonation, rhyme and rhythm, volume and texture and with movement, both fine and gross. By listening regularly with your little one, you are building a shared wordplay/storytime repertoire of over 100 songs, rhymes, poems and fingerplays that you learn by repetition, alongside your little one.

Once your child knows what to expect, they will become intent on listening and participating in the fun you always have with them during this time. Turn it on during fussy moments in the car or high chair, during tummy time or the witching hour!

I promise you that sharing 1 or 2 episodes every day over a 12 month period, will help your baby become a youngster with a wide vocabulary, comprehension and experiences through the songs and books I share.

Every episode reinforces the rhythm and structure and diversity of language and gets you using new words in fun ways.

This episode focuses on the triangle:

Sing: Look at the shape that things are in:🔺▶

Exposing your baby to shapes from an early age is important!

"Children develop math concepts and skills very early in life. From the moment they are born, babies begin to form ideas about math through everyday experiences and, most important, through interactions with trusted adults. Language—how we talk with infants and toddlers about math ideas like more, empty, and full—matters." NAEYC
