Workshop: Tuning into Temperament: Monday May 30th @ 10am
Every child has their own unique temperament. Learning how to tune into our child’s personality helps us to work with their specific traits and strengths, rather than in opposition to them. How do we support our “spirited and active” children with organizing their feelings? How do we create a sense of safety for our “cautious” little ones in new situations? Join us as we learn how our personality interplays with that of our child’s, and explore strategies in supporting their unique way of being.

Mother’s Day Blessing:
May those with children feel appreciated
May those grieving empty arms be comforted
May those mourning and missing the ones
who gave them life
Be wrapped in goodness and love today
– Tamara Rice
Life in the first weeks, months, and years of a new child can be full of joy, fears, excitement, and sadness with the ever-changing development in early childhood.
Join us in this interactive 6-week series as we explore how we can adapt to this exciting time and expand our understanding of the unique challenges that our little ones face.
Topics include
*Creating healthy attachment bonds
*Understanding temperament
*Learning about brain development and play
*Building emotional regulation
*Setting limits
*Developing healthy sleep and food skills
The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how parent-child relationships can be supported & strengthened.
In this 8-week series, we will explore how to
understand your child’s emotional needs
help them manage their emotions
strengthen their self esteem
honour your innate wisdom & desire for your child to be secure
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.
