Many parents of little ones are more lonely, overworked and under pressure than ever before. Reach out. Do someone a #LittleGoodDeed. It might just make their day.

It’s #NationalStorytellingWeek! Babies would rather listen to speech or singing than any other sound. Reading and talking with your child is one of the best ways to make the most of their early brain-building years. Great resources from @Literacy_Trust literacytrust.org.uk/parents…

If you are struggling with your feelings right now, this helpful poster explains how anxiety presents itself in many different ways. Maybe you can identify with some of these examples? It's really important that you know #YouAreNotAlone #homestart supports anxious parents

Loneliness can be devastating at any age. A simple gesture can help someone to remember they’re not alone. Whether it’s starting a conversation with someone you’re worried about or taking part in an awareness initiative like #OOTDYellowSocks, a little kindness can go a long way.

It is fantastic that the first Westminster Hall debate is about the impact of COVID on babies and their families. Definitely an issue that needs more attention in Westminster. Thank you @CatMcKinnell for championing this. We look forward to watching at 430pm.

It’s not surprising that our triggers are often the same things.... we’re all human after all. Recognising this, helps us to understand how our children are feeling & how best to comfort them🧡

No ‘to do’ list is as important as looking after, feeding, playing with & being there for them 💜🧡
You’re doing an amazing job!

Singing songs with a baby helps the bond between adult and child, supports brain development and also language development as it increases access to key words and sounds ht.ly/KagZ30qP7x8

Infant mental health describes the social & emotional wellbeing and development of children in the earliest years of life. It reflects whether children have the secure, responsive relationships that they need to thrive. #imhaw2020
We are thrilled that Anne Longfield @ChildrensComm has shown her support for Infant Mental Health in this fantastic video. #IMHAW2020
