Talk to Baby — Helping Parents Connect & Communicate with Their Babies

Being a parent or carer is one of the most challenging jobs out there. As a parent or carer, you play a vital role in your baby's life, and we at Childhood Development Initiative (CDI) want to support you in making the most of this special time.

We're thrilled to invite you and your little one to our 'Talk to Baby' Event at Tallaght Library on Wednesday, 24th May, 10am—11am.

Did you know that talking, reading, and singing to your baby can help improve their language development and overall growth? It's true! And that's why we want to share some cool tips and tricks with you. Talk to Baby will help you connect and communicate with your baby effectively.

Free 'Talk to Baby' Cube for Every Baby Who Attends

As a special treat, every baby who attends our event will receive a free 'Talk to Baby' Cube. It's an interactive cube that encourages everyday communication between parents and their babies. We believe it's a valuable tool that can genuinely make a difference in your baby's life.

Expertise in Speech and Language Development

Two senior speech therapists are hosting the event - one from the HSE and one of our own from the Childhood Development Initiative (CDI). They will be sharing their expertise on language development, play, reading, and singing, and demonstrating some useful activities that you can try with your baby.

Informative and Engaging Session

We hope you can join us for this informative and engaging session. It's an excellent opportunity to learn and have fun with your little one. So mark your calendar and come to Tallaght Library on 24th May at 10am. We can't wait to see you there!

Pre event Survey

Pre-event, we ask you to complete a survey to help us evaluate the impact of the Talk to Baby Cube. The survey is concise and should only take 2 minutes of your time. We will use all responses to evaluate the effectiveness of the cube. This will support further project funding and hopefully give more babies access to the Talk to Baby Cube!
