COUPLES WORKSHOP - FROM PARTNERS TO PARENTS
 

This one-day educational and experiential workshop is for pregnant couples and parents of infants and toddlers. (see flier) The workshop is designed to support couples and families during the transition to parenthood, and much of the material is based on the research of Doctors John and Julie Gottman.

The Gottman’s research demonstrates that when couples become parents, there is often a significant decrease in their relationship satisfaction. The workshop material was developed in response to over 30 years of marriage and family research looking at what helps couples stay connected and in satisfying relationships.

In the workshop you will practice tools to strengthen your relationship with your partner and foster your baby’s development during this new and challenging time of life.

Learn skills to:

  • Stay connected with your partner by strengthening your friendship and intimacy
  • Deal with conflict successfully and avoid relationship meltdown
  • Interact with your baby in a positive way
  • Understand that stress is normal when a baby arrives
  • Remain mindfull of the impact of division of labor changes and decisions
  • Keep both parents involved in infant care • Improve the quality of parent-infant interactions
  • Understand and recognize stages of early childhood development
  • Meet the psychological and emotional needs of your child

Please join us for this wonderful investment in your new life as a family. The day will include lecture, conversation, exercises, video clips and take-home materials to provide a diverse and stimulating experience.
