Talk, Listen and Cuddle (TLC)

A resource to help you develop your child's communication skills through fun activities and learning at home

How it can help

TLC is an Essex campaign that looks to help parents, carers and families of young children support their children’s communication development and learn how to help their children gain the best start in life through playful learning at home.

They regularly post a range of ideas, top tips and games to support children’s language, physical and emotional development on their website. Their aim is to ensure children start school ready to explore, learn and make friends.

Starting from as early as when your baby is in the womb, talking, listening and cuddling your child helps:

  • their brain development
  • develop their speaking and listening skills
  • communicate their needs, making them less frustrated
  • develop their reading and writing skills
  • them make friends and be happy

Visit the TLC website for ideas, tips and activities to support children's language, physical and emotional development.
