May 5, 11:00am
• Discover how infants benefit from independent play
• Appreciate what your child can do right now
• Learn how care routines can be favorite times for both caregiver and baby
• Share in the beautiful unfolding of children’s first relationships – with themselves, with others and with their surroundings
• Support only as much as needed
Through this 8-week series, parents or caregivers will receive the opportunity to thoughtfully observe their little ones and experience them demonstrating the value of these principles for us, as we intentionally grant them the freedom “to be.” Together, we explore the trust-based parenting approach developed by infant specialist Magda Gerber.
Cara Guyot has been a Postpartum Doula since 2019.
While training to be a doula, she was surprised by the world of local perinatal experts (prenatal and postnatal) and wants to share that knowledge with the greater community. Even as someone who was twelve years postpartum at the time of training, she has benefit from knowing this community and their help in healing her body and soul. If you know of a related event that should be added, please email her at: cara.guyot.doula@gmail.com
