Benefits for Parents and Professionals

As a parent, you are the most important teacher in your child’s life.  You not only help your child learn skills like language and literacy, but you also lay the essential foundation for your child’s best learning by building their confidence, interest and enjoyment in communicating.  

The You Make the Difference guidebook shows you simple ways to make the most of the everyday activities you already do with your child – having dinner, taking a bath, reading a book – to encourage and support your child’s confidence and communication. By making small, but powerful changes to the way you interact with your child, you help your child feel good about themselves and feel open to learning new things.
