Roll Baby Roll 7

4 Week Class Thursday November 26th to December 17 from 10am to 11am

In this 4 week series you will learn:

Exercises that support connecting and playing with your babies while supporting their motor, cognitive and social/emotional development, as well as a theme each week exploring different topics related to parenting.

Class 1: Making Repair: Conflict and making mistakes is part of the parenting journey. What do we do when we act in ways that hurt, silence or scare our child? How do we come back into connection and make repair for the rupture.

“The most important words in any relationship: 'I love you. I hear you. I'm sorry. What can I do to make this right?'”

Class 2:1.     The dance of separation: why separation is hard for children and how to help them with it as they grow.

Class 3: Responding to Tantrums: Meltdowns are an expected part of toddler hood. All toddlers/preschoolers experience them at some point. How can we respond to them with empathy and support them through it?

Class 4: Encouragement vs. Praise: We live in a culture where praise is commonplace and often expected, “good job”, “you’re such a good boy”. The essence of us wanting to praise our children for doing something well is natural and normal. However, children can become externally motivated to receive our accolades or rewards and lose touch with their internal motivation and life’s interests when the praise stops coming. Come learn how to support them through encouragement so they can develop and nurture their own desires in life with passion!
