Babiesknow 3: Age 1 to 3
“The course has given me permission and strength to follow my own instincts. I am so much happier this way and I know that by being happy it is more likely that my baby will be happy.” Olivia
This one day workshop focuses on life with an older baby: emerging language, trials and 'tantrums', choices about going back to work, nurseries, sleep arrangements, and more.
It's an ideal follow-up to Babiesknow 1, The Foundation Weekend, and/or Babiesknow 2 (Birth - Age 1). We highly recommend that you attend the Foundation Weekend before you come to this follow on course. It's not an essential requirement, but it lays the foundation for the Babiesknow approach to parenting, and is suitable for all ages.
You'll discover tips for communicating effectively with your child even under the strain of a tantrum; how to lay down boundaries; how to master a loving 'No' and many loving 'Yes's'; how to deal with changing needs around sleep and food, and how to stand up for what really matters to you and get your own needs met, as an individual and within your parental relationship.
Each workshop reflects who attends: we respond to your queries, and give you information and guidance about issues relevant to this stage. Led by Kitty Hagenbach and Helen Biscoe-Taylor.
Common topics include:
- Developing speech and language
- Behaviour, including tantrums
- Bonding and Play
- Sleep and bedrooms
- Childcare and parents at work
Would you like to bring your baby?
We love having babies with us on the courses, but we do have guidelines: we welcome babes in arms and babies who are not yet walking.
We've found through experience that if a baby is walking, or pulling herself up a lot, it's really hard for the parents to focus. If a baby is crawling, it's much less distracting; crawling babies tend to become part of the group and take part in the day, they happily explore the room and engage with the other parents who are there. We have a selection of toys which prove very popular with babies and young children.
