Samantha Dholakia (Sam) from SPD Tuition and Coaching has worked with children all her life and is particularly interested in the link between academic success and wellbeing. In her work she looks at how connecting with children (of all ages) helps them to understand about themselves and achieve what they want to. Sam’s other qualification in this topic is that she is mum to a toddler!
We chatted with Sam about:
- How the toddler development stage impacts on us as parents and how we develop alongside our children as they grow.
- The toddler reputation and how this influences the way we approach our relationships with them.
- Why?! That constant question at this age – recognising that our toddlers are growing into little people who want to communicate and be communicated with.
- The baby voice / baby language
- How communication is important to help build a mutually respectful relationship with our toddlers.
- Our relationship with our technology (phones etc) and how this can affect communication on all levels.
- Volume (ours and our children’s!)
- And finally, Sam’s top 3 tips for talking to toddlers.
