This has been a labour of love.
I would appreciate you buying this and most importantly giving me a review to help get the Amazon algorithm gods on side.
If you buy the book there's a free 21 day challenge workbook to download.
Happy Father's Day

Tonight marks the second session of #TheTrevarthenSeries. It is so interesting bringing together these insightful researchers on infant experience. Tonight is Maya Gratier from Paris, exploring the richness in singing between parents & babies.

There has been lots of attentn paid within the media to the actions of Elon Musk's 4-yr-old son at a press conference held this week in the Oval Office. The child's forceful statements have sparked entertainmnt. I want to call attentn to his emotional state. THREAD

Great to see Dad Shift here.

I'm a big fan of their campaign and what they are doing for Dads and Paternity leave

They need our help to get a few more followers though.

Please give this a share.

This is one of my favourite books nevermind football books. Outstanding.

Not an academic but one of the most infuriating things is finding something that's relevant to your work, grabs your attention, can help people and improve your practice but you have to go around the houses to read it.

Gareth Wall @garethwall.bsky.social · Nov 19

Excellent. Glad you're here.

Gareth Wall @garethwall.bsky.social · Nov 19

Wow that's stunning.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Just love Dan's work. Such a positive account to follow.

Let’s talk about language-rich environments.

One of the determining factors in both the speed at which your child develops language and the size of his/her early vocabulary is exposure to (direct & interactive) caregiver speech.
