The Department for Education has shifted its Early Years focus to put communication and language at the top of the list for Early Childhood Education. Communication brings children’s thought processes to life, as they articulate how they feel and what they think through dialogue and discussion with others. 

In short: initiating and maintaining conversation with their child is one of the most important things that a parent can do to support the work teachers do in the classroom. This episode Phil Armstrong joins us from Early Excellence, to suggest ways for parents to make the conversations they have at home with each other and with their children as rich, meaningful and enjoyable as possible.
