Who is this for?
The Bringing Baby Home workshop is applicable whether it is your first baby or you have other children at home. It is for any couple who wants to enter their parenting journey with the strongest foundation possible.
Becoming parents is a new beginning. For most parents, it is a time of hope, anticipation, and excitement. However, research shows that approximately 2/3 of couples experience a significant decrease in relationship satisfaction after the birth of their baby. Furthermore, this conflict can have profound negative effects on infants and toddlers.
The secret to successfully managing the transition is to keep your relationship strong. When babies grow up in a home with a positive, playful parenting team, they feel safe and nurtured and available to learn.
