What is Tiny Happy People?

The [BBC Tiny Happy People] initiative supports parents and carers to help develop their little ones’ language and communication skills in the home learning environment.

Based on extensive academic research, Tiny Happy People has a simple message at its heart - ‘Talk to your baby from pregnancy - we can show you how and why.’

On the website, parents and carers will find…

Hundreds of fun, simple activities, organised by age, showing families how to support their children’s language development.

There's also child development content, showing parents and carers why supporting language learning is important. It's all about children's amazing brain development and how they understand the world around them.

As well as tips and advice from health visitors, speech and language experts, healthcare professionals and early years practitioners covering a wide range of parenting topics.
