Description

This week on Mum’s The Word, Kelsey is joined by the brilliant Sophie David – early years expert, mum of three, and the face behind @LittleHappyLearners.


Together, they dive into the realities of parenting that often go unspoken: why gentle parenting doesn’t always work for every family, the surprising differences between stepdads and stepmums when it comes to bonding with their partner’s kids, and why Sophie actually enjoys doing homework with her children.


Plus, Sophie shares the inspiration behind her brand new book Read, Write, Play – packed with 100 easy, play-based ways to make phonics fun for kids aged 3 to 7.


If you're looking for honest mum chat, practical parenting insight, and a few laughs along the way – this one's for you.
