The first five years of life are the most important—and the first three are often the most overlooked.

Talk to Them Early and Often by Cara Tyrrell, M.Ed., is a groundbreaking new book for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to raise confident, emotionally intelligent kids from the very beginning. 

Discover how the words you choose in the first three years shape a child’s brain, identity, and future success in school and life.

In this book, you’ll learn:

✅ Why intentional language is the most powerful parenting tool you have.

✅ How your words literally wire your child’s brain for connection, confidence, and resilience.

✅ The hidden impact of the COVID-19 years on today’s youngest learners.

✅Practical scripts drawn from 10 linguistic guidelines to help you create tender connections, ease tricky transitions, and reduce meltdowns in everyday moments.

This isn’t about managing behavior. It’s about transforming relationships—at home, in classrooms, and in the world.
