How do
we help
You are never going to be completely prepared to be a parent, even if it’s your 4th and you’re a child development specialist! However, this course will leave you more prepared than anything else.
It is different to anything else you’ve seen because we offer information about the key elements of baby development and life with a baby. We give you frameworks and tools to refer to and use.
So, when you meet your little one you will understand what is happening. You will be able to pick up on cues, select the response or calming technique, and meet your baby’s and your own unique needs.
We provide information about what it’s like to be a parent, and what it is like to be a baby.
We help you understand the needs of parents and babies.
We offer practical ways to meet those needs.
