Sleep & Bedtimes Worskhop

Navigating sleep in the first months after baby has arrived, and into the early years of childhood can be a challenge for caregivers. Questions surrounding what is “normal” sleep for kids, why does my baby keep waking up at night, how do I avoid the bedtime protests, is enough to keep caregivers up at night.

In this workshop geared towards caregivers of children 0-5 years of age, we will build understanding around typical sleep patterns, challenges in infancy, bedtime struggles in early childhood, and strategies to encourage better sleep for little ones.

Parenting Through the Digital Age

Technology is changing rapidly; our children are often more internet savvy than we are. It is hard to keep up, and even harder to set limits with screen time, and internet access. Join us as we explore what it’s like to parent in this digital world – what actually happens to our brains when we are on our screens, how to set screen-time limits effectively, and how to turn technology into a positive parenting tool.

Tantrums in Parenting

Join us as we explore how to navigate tantrums, meltdowns and outbursts, and how we can stay connected to our little ones through their big feelings. Together we will learn why children have tantrums, what is taking place developmentally, what happens in the brain, and what are they communicating through their behaviour. We will look at practical strategies of how to provide connection and support for our children (and for ourselves) during these challenging moments.
