"Through Kelly's teachings, I was able to learn how to support, build and grow my daughter's listening and language skills. We already knew the importance of book time and had established this at home, but learning the skills to stretch my child's brain beyond repetition, made all the difference. I had no idea my child even knew the word cocoon, until I implemented the pause and wait technique. This proved how much she was listening and taking in and it made all the sounds she could hear a listening and language using opportunity." -Lena
