Relationship Based Parenting: Exorcising the Ghosts in the Nursery

Description

Using intentional touch, movement and play as psychological building blocks for successful parent/infant bonding and attachment, professionals learn how to teach parents to observe and interact with their babies to better facilitate growth and development. Parents at any and all levels of ability or psychological sophistication, carrying whatever scars from their own personal traumas, can learn skills related to soothing, calming, communicating, engaging, therby reflecting a "knowing" of what their baby is "saying" and "feeling." The essential partnership between the professional, the parent, and the baby will be highlighted.
