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

Research: U. of Cambridge, neuroscientist Professor Usha Goswami. Dec 6, 2023

"Parents should speak to their babies using sing-song speech, like nursery rhymes, as soon as possible, say researchers. That’s because babies learn languages from rhythmic information, not phonetic information, in their first months."

Greetings from Miss Pam in Jamaica.. I'd say..

This baby podcast is simply the best tool to get parents singing and talking to their baby every single day.

Here's a seasonal Jamaican song for you:

Holiday a come me wan me lama!

Lama is an old Jamaican term that means "presents" as in gifts.

This song comes from slavery days and was sung at Christmas time when people would dress up as characters and parade on the streets.

They would sing this song as they asked onlookers sometimes for money to get themselves or their family, gifts for the holidays.

RESEARCH ON WHY NURSERY RHYMING AND SINGING IS SO IMPORTANT FROM BIRTH.

🌺 On an island, named Jamaica, in the middle of the Caribbean Sea, there lived a little girl.

One day, she set off over land and water to find an adventure. When her travels brought her to the edge of the United States, she sat down and thought, "maybe this is where I should stay."

​Just then a strong breeze came by and blew her further north and eventually, she landed in New Jersey.

Since she loved children and stories, she became a librarian.

She has fun bringing together stories and songs, reading and rhyme, all for family literacy FUN.

This little girl is me! Now a grandma to two littles under 3 years old, I get to use my own podcast with them - how lovely! READ FULL BIO on Miss Pam
