Research-based information for time-pressed parents and professionals.
We translate developmental research into simple actions into daily routines.
Each issue ends with “Just ONE THING”.
This is a simple action you can put into practice before your child’s bedtime routine tonight!
I support parents and professionals create language and learning-rich environments.

The Importance of Daily Routines
The magic happens When developmental principles are put into daily routines
- Daily routines already happen many times a day
- No need to set aside additional time to focus on developmental principles
- Learning takes places in places and with beloved objects with which the child is already familiar
- And so much more!
