Communication is something most of us take for granted. But for so many children and families, being understood, and understanding the world around them, requires tools, support and a whole lot of patience.
This week we sit down with Jenn Winstone, Speech Therapist and co-founder of MyComms, for a conversation every parent needs to hear. We talk about why communication doesn't come easily for everyone, what it looks like when a child cannot express what they need, and how MyComms is making personalised communication tools accessible to every family, not just those with the resources to seek them out.
And the one thing Jenn said that has genuinely stayed with us, you can never over support a child with extra communication tools.

Nobody tells you that the newborn experience you had with your first child will look nothing like the one that comes next. Different baby, different season of life, different version of you and sometimes, a completely different world.
You can love your child more than you have ever loved anything in your entire life and find it really, really hard at the same time. You can not want to be apart from your baby for a single second and also be desperately counting down to bedtime.
We are not tech people. We are not AI experts. We are two full time working mums who stumbled onto a few things that have genuinely changed how we manage our lives and we could not keep them to ourselves.
There has never been more parenting advice, more research or more content available to us than right now. And yet parents feel more lost, more overwhelmed and more judged than ever before.
Quick heads up - this one gets spicy so pop your headphones in if little ears are around.
