Event Description:This 90-minute workshop offers warm, practical guidance for parents and caregivers of babies ages 3–12 months. Focusing on responsive care and emotional connection, this session supports families in deepening bonds and building communication skills that nurture early development.
In Connection + Communication in the First Year, we’ll explore how to read your baby’s cues, support early language through cooing and interaction, and create calming rhythms through routines and infant massage. You'll also learn ways to foster emotional security and connection in your day-to-day life, all while attending with your baby in a supportive, welcoming space.
This is the first session in our rotating Postnatal Workshop Series for families with babies ages 3–12 months. Each workshop is designed to stand alone, so you're welcome to join any session that aligns with your current needs. Whether you're adjusting to new rhythms, seeking ways to strengthen your bond, or simply looking for supportive guidance, this class offers a meaningful and gentle place to begin.
