Description

"BRINGING BABY HOME" Workshops are great for couples!

FREE SESSION THIS SPRING: Scroll down to learn more

About the Bringing Baby Home Program :

The state of the art program for couples, designed by nationally renowned couples experts John and Julie Gottman of the Gottman Institute, combines scientific research and public education to improve the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening their families:

"What now?" is the question most parents ask when they bring home a new baby. As exciting as the birth of a child can be, it can also be an incredibly stressful and tiring experience. Couples find it difficult to find the time and energy to focus on each other as they deal with this "new normal".

As a new or expecting parent, you and your partner will learn how to gain relationship satisfaction and create healthy social, emotional and intellectual development for your child. These carefully designed workshops allow you to follow along with the workbook (yours to keep) while you learn about how couples cope with these changes, what to expect for each other and yourself, and how to understand and connect with your child. Activities that you and your partner do together and with the group will enhance the learning and offer more than a few chances to laugh, gain a sense of empowerment, ask questions and get emotionally prepared in remarkable ways.

  • Promote Positive Parent-Baby Interactions
  • Promote Quality Involvement for Both Parents
  • Reduce the Incidence or Severity of Postpartum Mood Disorders
  • Maintain Relationship Satisfaction After Having a Baby

Research indicates that participation in this program has long lasting positive outcomes for parents and their babies, learn more by visiting:www.gottman.com/about-the-bringing-baby-home-program/
