Many people think children who have irregular sleep patterns are normal and are quick to dismiss it, however this can kickstart a lifetime of problems for your child. Bree chats with Speech Pathologist and Myofunctional Practitioner Sharon Moore to talk about the impact and consequences of having sleep wrecked children.

We all aspire to be the best parents we can be, and hope to improve upon the mistakes that our own parents made.

We read books, so why aren't books just for reading? We have Qualified Speech Pathologist Melanie Von Bertouch on today's episode to explain the links between literacy and language, and shares some simple home strategies which can help improve your child's language.

Baby talk, it's something we're all guilty of. Their cute little confused faces can make us babble nonsense in hopes of them better understanding us. But have you ever thought about how baby talk can affect your child's speech development? Special gust Christa Lam-Cassettari tells all about the impact that baby talk has on our babies.

What is it about talking to babies? We know they can’t really respond, but yet we all instinctively communicate with them using “baby talk.” 

However, have you ever thought about whether this baby talk may be affecting your child’s speech development? After all, it’s not typically considered “proper English.”

On Today's episode I chat with Christa Lam-Cassettari who is a researcher in infant studies and leader of the MARCS Baby Lab at Western Sydney University, about the truth if baby talk can actually impact your child's speech development.
