'the science bit' - Why early childhood is so special

In this second Episode, we'll dig into the science of early childhood... and why this period lays the foundations. 

Tori, Head of Marketing at Tandem (and expert on early childhood by virtue of being a mum) is 'in conversation with' Tandem CEO (and Assistant Prof at LSHTM) Dr Rob Hughes. 

They'll talk us through an intro to the science of early childhood development, including what we mean by early childhood, whether there is a 'recipe' for a good early childhood, alongside some tips to help parents navigate these critical early years in a world of rapidly emerging technologies. 

Produced by Early Ideas Limited, who are building Tandem.

Podcast music by Tibor Miklos.
