Why Donald Duck?

Donald Duck is a Disney character who represents the idea that doing the right thing and being a good person is its own reward.

No matter how bad it gets, if you stick around, it’ll be worth it.



“And if someone knocks you down, oh, get right up again.

Show your pluck like Donald Duck,

Quack quack Quack quack Quack “



You may not have lived the life you imagined, but perhaps life will find a way to surprise you with imagination of its own.

Thank you! ~Miss Pam xoxo

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.
