Helping Children Find Their Voice: My Feature on the CBBC Parenting Helpline Podcast
As a speech therapist based in Wandsworth, South West London, I’m passionate about helping children develop their communication skills and supporting families through every step of their journey. That’s why I was thrilled to recently join the CBBC Parenting Helpline podcast to talk about some of the most common questions parents have about speech and language development.
In the latest episode of Parenting Helpline, I chat with Holly Hagan-Blyth and Charlie Hedges about a range of topics, including:
How children learn language in everyday life
Practical tips parents can use at home
Ways to support children experiencing speech delays
This podcast episode is a fantastic resource for any parent looking to better understand their child’s communication development — whether you’re curious about what’s typical, or you’re concerned that your little one might need extra support.
Why Speech Therapy Matters in the Early Years
Early support can make a big difference. As a local speech and language therapist in Wandsworth, I work with families across South West London to build strong communication foundations. Every child develops differently, but with the right tools and strategies, they can gain the confidence to express themselves fully.
