"Home Talk has completely changed our lives"

About: Netherfield Children's Centre

(as a service user),

Home Talk has completely changed our lives. It has been amazing. Before Charlotte came to help my child with her speech, my child suffered from lots of tantrums- constantly, she couldn't communicate her needs and I couldn't understand her. It left us both felling upset and I felt completely defeated as a mother to the point where I was finding it difficult to leave the house in case she had tantrums outside. Additionally my child struggled with her relationship with her younger sibling- always becoming frustrated and same with my husband.

Since having Home Talk we have been given the tools and advice on how to communicate and how to help my child communicate with us. It has honestly been a miracle. It took just a little change, nothing like we expected but it made all the difference. My child's speech has improved so much that she now is able to talk to us- asking what she wants, explaining what she sees and even constantly singing. With this her tantrums have stopped, she is so close to her sister and my husband. Our home is just so much happier and together. Honestly before Charlotte came, I really was at my witts end. She really saved us.

I would finally like to add that it really was because of Charlotte's hard work and dedication to her job that helped us so much. Every time she came she always showed so much love and care to my child and really listened to my concerns and gave such great advice. She was never in a rush and just sat with undivided care and attention. She really is amazing. We are so grateful and bless to have had her in our home.
