Support your baby’s development through touch, movement and face-to-face interaction! 

Join us once a week for this 4 week series from December 3 to December 23 2021

We gather on zoom each week on Friday from 10-11:15am.

You will learn ways to enhance your baby’s motor development as well as social, emotional and cognitive growth. You will learn how you can stimulate early brain mapping and apply hands on techniques for supporting babies development. This class is a great opportunity to learn, be more empowered as a new parent, and meet other parents and their babies online. Come prepared to move with your baby and have fun!

6 weeks to pre/crawling.

The Themes for this engaging 4 week series are:

1. Temperaments: what are we born with and what is a product of our environment? Come learn about the 3 basic temperaments and how you can support each of them.

2. Toilet learning: how to help your baby learn about what comes out the other end~! The good new is you can start now with a routine to slowly support the learning of their interoceptive system.

3. The dance of separation and re connection: attachment is a series of coming together and going apart from each other, a quick trip to the store, some time with dad, grandma takes care of you, a nanny comes over for a few hours, you spend some time in daycare. These separations can be challenging, we talk about what that means to a baby and how to ease the transitions.

4. Cultivating social emotional intelligence: Emotional intelligence is twice as strong a predictor of later successes academically, socially and in romantic relationships. Join us and learn how you can support your baby or young child with their feelings early on, so they can learn resilience and confidence over time to navigate life's challenges and obstacles as they grow.

What causes retained reflexes and what are the accompanying developmental issues that can be connected to retained reflexes. What are ways you can work with your child to integrate these reflexes

• The age of technology: we are in unprecedented times with technology and our ever increasing reliance on it. How/when do we introduce our children to it so they are not at a disadvantage, but protect them from the harm of exposing them too young?
