My Goal:
To Support Parents
in Raising Children With Respect
Regarding
Baby offers Parent /Infant Classes based on Magda Gerber's pioneering work in the field of infant development. Led by Lisa
Sunbury, the classes meet once a week for an hour and a half ; and provide
a welcoming and relaxing experience for parents and young children alike.While the babies freely explore a safe play
environment, adults practice observing their children and engage in discussion with each other and the facilitator about issues
that are important to them.
Parents learn to trust their own abilities as they come to know their child's unique
abilities, and strengthen their bond with their baby through learning to slow down, and read their baby's cues. Parents
learn what to expect in upcoming months, how to use their home environment to support their child's natural development,
the importance of consistency and routines, when to intervene, (and when not to), and how to take care of themselves
and meet their own needs, while also meeting the needs of their baby. |
