**NEW** 2 hr INTENSIVE—Baby development workshop

  • Offspring Child Health Specialists 614 Glenferrie Road Hawthorn, VIC, 3122 Australia (map)

Baby Ready, Baby Steady, Baby Go:

Sharing knowledge to better understand and promote your baby’s development

**NEW**, all-in-one, intensive workshop for parents

Attending this Intensive will help you:

  • understand your baby's subtle behavioural cues (their signs of stress and signs of coping)

  • turn everyday care activities (such as bathing, dressing and nappy changes) into fun moments with learning opportunities

  • make sense of ‘self-regulation’ and strategies that can help your baby to build their self-regulation skills

  • feel more confident about choosing settling strategies to suit your baby and family

  • understand “normal” variations in development and timing of milestones (and when to seek support)

  • find ways to make tummy-time (and other play positions) less of a struggle

  • know what features to look for in a highchair to suit your baby’s postural needs, in order to better support self-feeding skills and your baby’s enjoyment of solid foods

  • promote your baby’s fine and gross motor development through play and everyday activities (without adding a big ‘to-do-list’ to your day)

  • gain insights into your baby’s experience of (and thresholds for) different environments and people

  • feel confident about ‘pitching’ activities to meet your baby’s needs as they change

  • put into action the concept of being a “good-enough” parent, and find ways of looking after yourself (without the feelings of guilt)

(* workshop held subject to minimum numbers).

Babies of course welcome at all workshops!
