In this episode you will learn the following:
- Childhood development starts in the womb and is critically important until age 2 to set the foundation for who your baby can possibly be.
- Your baby is communicating with you through every sound they make. The parents’ role is to communicate back.
- The games parents play with their newborns each have a learning function to them.
- It’s important that parents discuss what is priority to them in how they raise their child before having children.
- Consistency provides a safe and secure environment for children. Each parent’s daily routine is important when there is co-parenting in two households due to divorce.
- Don’t Compete! Each co-parent is different and each co-parent has value in what they can provide to their children.
- The Oliiki app is designed to create daily interactions with children up to 24 months old that explain the developmental skill the baby is learning.
Oliiki is grounded in science. UCL Institute of Education carried out a randomised controlled trial on the Oliiki app and found that parents using the Oliiki app after only 4 weeks had higher parental self-efficacy, (more confident in their parenting) compared to the active control trial. This is significant because high parental self-efficacy is connected with low post-natal depression, low infant mental health issues and high home learning environments.
