Let's Chat Routines

Welcome back to the first 2026 episode of Talking Together! This episode, Hermione and George chat simple, real-life routines that foster connection between children and the adults in their world. Drawing on ideas shared by parents, educators, and other allied health professionals, we explore how everyday moments like sitting at the dinner table, sharing highs and lows and family rituals can build language, support problem-solving and make connection thrive.
