The Listen With Love performance is a moving, music-filled keynote about parenthood, inclusion and the transformative power of truly listening to children. Geared for families and local residents, join mom and Five Counties Early Childhood Educator Hannah Bailey (and her musical friends) as she uses heartfelt storytelling, humor and live music to share her journey about the pursuit of inclusion for her own son, Max.

Hannah shares her family’s journey navigating Max’s heart condition, rare genetic diagnosis, and childhood apraxia of speech – and how doing so reshaped everything they understood about behaviour, communication, regulation and belonging.

Blending lived experience with her work in early childhood education, Hannah invites you to look beyond behaviour, challenge the systems children are expected to fit into, and create environments where every child can belong – just as they are.
