Here the Beckies talk about using dummy's and soothers, what are the benefits and the downsides and what do we need to understand about dummy's and learning to talk.
This podcasts gives great understanding and helpful ideas for early years practitioners and families
Using a dummy to settle vs using a dummy to silence... Pop out the dummy when the child tries to talk. Give the child the ownership of their own dummy in early years, imagine what it feels like having one of your favourite things taken off you and popped up high where you can see it..
We're not the dummy police we're here to help... Join in with us and listen up for 10 mins, this podcast will really help give great understanding and help take away that parent guilt and the myths surrounding dummy's!
