Why talk, play and sing with your child?

• Talking to your child helps them learn to listen, and gives them the chance to respond and be listened to.

• Playing with your child helps develop their social and communication skills.

• Singing songs and rhymes with your child makes it easier for them to learn language skills.

Playing, talking and singing with your child encourages them to find their own way of communicating and stimulates brain development.

Come along to talk, play and sing with your child at this fun and interactive sessions at your local Children’s Centre!

Young carers

41

Who are Young Carers?

A young carer is a person under 18 who provides essential and ongoing care and emotional support to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled, or misuses substances. In Brent, we estimate there to be upwards of 3,000 young carers, but as many as 1 in 12 pupils in the UK could be a young carer.

Often these children are caring for relatives, slipping through the net, undetected by support services. The caring role they carry out means they have unique experiences and demands that impact on their capacity to enjoy their childhoods.

For more information on Young Carers, including details of upcoming activities and events, please contact:
