Fun and laughter lie at the heart of new sensory play programmes designed to help parents learn about child development, early learning and the importance of bonding.
Called Tickle Giggle, the programmes have been devised by the Glasgow-based training company Experiential Play.
Managing director Alice Sharp says, 'Many parents, after the initial intense emotion of the birth and bringing baby home, face the feeling "What do we do now?". While love comes naturally to most parents, all of them face difficulties at some point or another.
'Through sharing songs, rhymes and simple games, we bring out the fun and adventure in parenting, while highlighting the importance of parent-child interactions and how play can make a positive and significant contribution in giving a child the best possible start in life. The philosophy behind the programme is simple - share the play, share the learning, share the fun.'
