BBC's Tiny Happy people have been working in partnership with ASDA to help develop language skills for children aged 0 to 5 years old.

They contacted Susan Topping the centre manager of Boldon Community Association to link up to provide a space where they could provide a two day program for family's of young children to offer advice and support.

Over the course of 2 days there were 3 shows with Cat Stadion from CBeebies and Lisa Leyden from Sunshine Nursery as the Early Years Expert. The program was a fantastic way for parents of young children to understand how speech and language skills are developed in early childhood.

The show consisted of singing, learning how we can use objects and sock puppets to develop these skills. All children attending recieved a free goodie bags from Tiny Happy People and a healthy snack from Tracey Tough ASDA's Community Champion.

The program was a big success with all of the shows fully booked. After the shows local agencies were available for parents to discuss how they could use their new skills to further develop their children's speech.
