But, that is not true as there can be a rhythm of conversation even at that age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents should also indulge in child-led communication. It is common misconception that you should tell your child &#8216;Oh look at this, look at this ball!&#8217;, instead you should only say that when the child is actually looking at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sameena, a participant in this initiative has a one-year-old daughter, and feels the website has helped her child communicate better.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cThese days mums are not at home 24\/7 as they work. The website really helps me use the time I have with my child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sameena also said that the website helps improve her child\u2019s vocabulary other than just the usual \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Tiny Happy People initiative is also looking to nationalise in the coming year. This would be done by targeting hyper-local hubs across the UK and then slowly expanding to include more places. Mr&nbsp;McCulloch says that he realises that it won\u2019t happen soon but the plan is to have a UK-wide presence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tiny Happy People initiative seeks to bridge the communication gap among Greater Manchester pre-schoolers.
