Bonding with Little Ones   New

The first 5 years of seeking and safely engaging the world are critical for the future success of every boy and girl. Bonding with Little Ones is an attachment-parenting programme that nurtures and empowers mothers to make informed choices for their children based on scientific study on the developing brain. Parents learn how to build social and emotional well-being for life as they respond to crying and separations, sleep and bedtimes, anger and tantrums, fun and play, difficult behaviour and discipline.

This is a 16 week programme, each session is 2 hours long and is facilitated by two parenting educators, one being a family therapist.
