Welcome Back!!! Its Series 2 of Raise Her Up and we're starting with an absolutely incredible guest.

Our guest for Episode 1 of Season 2 is Sunday Times bestselling author, presenter, journalist, fashionista and all round role model Candice Brathwaite. Her first book, I Am Not Your Baby Mother, addressed the issue she found when she became a mother herself: that the media landscape was absolutely not representative of her own experience as a woman of colour. Her follow up, Sista Sister, was a series of essays setting out for a younger generation what she would have liked to know herself about things like money, friendship, love and self-respect, when she was growing up. She is back with her first work of fiction: a YA book, Cuts Both Ways, a love story - and she joins us on Raise Her Up to talk about all this and more.

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.
