Practical ideas - Families supporting each other
23 Feb 2011
Parents may be more likely to listen to advice that is given by their peers and friends. They also have lots of good ideas for supporting children’s language development that could be shared with others. Why not put together a little book, leaflet or display in your setting where parents can offer advice to each other?
Offer families the chance to bring any books that aren’t quite right for their children or which their children have grown out of in to the setting to swop with other families. A book that is left on the shelf in one home may turn out to be a firm favourite in another.
