In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matty talk to Zazi Henderson, Christchurch-based Speech and Language Therapist and Instagram guru known as @zaziplays. Passionate about supporting parents and their children’s development through play, Zazi discusses how to build healthy communication through the chaos of the early years.

The conversation covers red flags to look for indicating speech and language problems early on, feeling like you’re not good at play, mouth breathing, sign language, parental reluctance towards messy play (here’s looking at you, glitter), asserting boundaries through respectful parenting, and how she runs her business from home while parenting.

If you love grounded, honest, practical ideas, you’ll love this conversation. Check out https://www.zazi.co.nz/ and follow @zaziplays.
