    One Minute Story of Baby Wordplay.

    26/05/2026 | 1 mins.
    In this minute you’ll be taken to a magical place that grew out of a personal challenge and then just ONE question.
    Here’s the very short transcript but watching is much more fun as you will see...
    🎵
    Twinkle Little Star. How I wonder what you are.
    🗣️ When we talk, read, and sing to our babies, we are setting them on a path to success.
    🗣️ To help parents and caregivers reach *30,000 words [daily] I developed the baby wordplay program in its first location, the Little Theatre, here in Southwest Philadelphia.
    🎵 So nice to see you, hello Holden. So nice to see you. Hello, Holden!
    🗣️ Little Theatre is a place where families come together to play with words and language, stories, sing, play with your fingers, your toes.
    🎵 Nine little fingers, one more makes ten.
    🗣️ It’s about really trying to help and encourage and model how to talk to your children all day so that you do reach 30,000 words by the end of the day.
    It’s not as daunting as it might sound.
    And even
    🗣️ More than not daunting, it’s fun!
    *During this time there was much professional talk about the 30 million word gap (based on just one study) and that children needed to hear about 30,000 words daily to develop the language skills necessary to succeed in school and everyday life.
