Miss Pam's Small Talk BABY Podcast Small Talk Baby Podcast

Did you know that there are two Emancipation Parks that I know of? In Houston, Texas and Kingston, Jamaica.

EMANCIPATION PARK, Houston, Texas

June 19, 1872, was the day that the enslaved people of Texas learned they were free legally- long after (2 years!) the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln: The holiday became known as Juneteenth in the US.

"Black people freed themselves"

"According to Britt Hawthorne "Enslaved Black folks did fight back. They resisted captivity through various actions such as escape, organized rebellions, planned revolts, abolition, self-education and more.

The first official Juneteenth celebrations were held on June 19, 1866, in Galveston Bay Texas.

Black Americans espeically in Texas, often celebrate with community festivals, but education and civic engagement -- like registering to vote -- are also central to Juneteenth's commemoration."

+ Britt Hawthorne, Best selling author and speaker.

This episode was inspired by the following book about Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas

They Built Me For Freedom: The Story of Juneteenth and Houston's Emancipation Park by Tonya Duncan Ellis and Jenin Mohammed, illustrator.

ANOTHER EMANCIPATION PARK - Kingston, Jamaica

The Park was created to be a symbol of Freedom to Hope, to Excel and to Be.

The Emancipation Act was passed on July 31, 1834 in the British West Indies at midnight.

However, full freedom to over 300,000 enslaved Africans was not granted until four years later by Queen Victoria of England on August 1, 1838. 

The opening of Emancipation Park in July 2002 is a significant milestone in the journey of the nation.

Thank you so much, for reading and for tuning into me and your baby!

When you bring baby home, there are a million things to consider and navigate as everyone gets to know each other in this first year. Things are changing daily — heck, hourly!

The first year is also a tender time even as it is gruelling. You want to do the best for your baby, keep him dry and fed, soothe her upsets, provide a little fresh air, make sure he’s not too cold, protect her from the sun, etc.
And you are, hopefully, falling in love.

While taking care of her physical needs, you also know it’s important to talk, sing, read and play with your baby. You know that you are your child’s first teacher, the single most important key to their brain and language development.

It’s all a bit, well, overwhelming. Eeeek!

Enter SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST. I believe every family with a baby under 3 years needs my podcast, wherever they are in the world. Why? That’s easy…

SMALL TALK BABY PODCAST (STBP)

FUN. +Play is the work of children, from birth.

It is through play that babies learn about the world—themselves and others. Every episode of STBP is a screen-free invitation to play with words and language. The podcast helps families build a routine around language development.

RICH AND EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE. +Food for a baby’s brain.

It is designed to foster language development in a joyful way: it grows your baby’s vocabulary and comprehension, stimulates your baby’s imagination and curiosity through developmentally appropriate books, and teaches your baby about abstract concepts like emotions, counting—all without the distraction of a screen.

BABIES’ BRAINS AND ADULT MODELLING. +Repetition is the key to learning.

I used my 35 plus years of early literacy expertise to create this screen-free tool for a young child and the parents or caregivers. Every episode is theater to a baby’s ears, capturing their attention with the sounds within words, the music, intonation, rhyme and rhythm, volume and texture and with movement, both fine and gross. By listening regularly with your little one, you are building a shared wordplay/storytime repertoire of over 100 songs, rhymes, poems and fingerplays that you learn by repetition, alongside your little one.

SCREEN-FREE

Once your child knows what to expect, they will become intent on listening and participating in the fun you always have with them during this time. Turn it on during fussy moments in the car or high chair, during tummy time or the witching hour!

I promise you that sharing 1 or 2 episodes every day over a 12 month period, will help your baby become a youngster with a wide vocabulary, comprehension and experiences through the songs and books I share.
Every episode reinforces the rhythm and structure and diversity of language and gets you using new words in fun ways.
