This thorough 4-week workshop offers an in-depth approach to enhancing your parenting experience:

• learning to recognize your infants' cues and behavioral states

• build a daily routine of infant massage strokes, including special techniques to sooth tummy discomfort and colic.

• a chance for discussion and sharing of your particular parenting experience

Parents will receive:

• Infant Massage: A handbook for Loving Parents by Vimala McClure

• oil for the massage and a wash cloth

• handouts of massage strokes for easy reference

Both moms and dads are welcome as well as grandparents or other caregivers. Please note: So that parents don't get frustrated or discouraged this class is usually recommended for pre-crawling babies, although you will receive information about massaging the older child for those babes with siblings.
