Babyfocus

About

You and your baby are invited to join us at BABYFOCUS for a course which follows the work of Dr Emmi Pikler paediatrician and Magda Gerber child therapist, who advocated that the relationship between the child and their parent is all - “it is a matter of life to the child.”

At Babyfocus classes we will:

• explore the trusting, respectful relationship between you and your child

• facilitate your child’s natural movement and play

• spend time in discussion

• have a time for quiet observation

Babyfocus classes for infants and toddlers will provide you with a unique opportunity to stretch and celebrate you as a parent as well as delight in your child’s unique capabilities.

‘Babies are designed perfectly to unfold perfectly. They are capable human beings.’ (Magda Gerber)

Babyfocus classes are being offered for families with non-crawling infants (2-6 mths)

The classes happen in blocks of 6 weeks in each school term. Days, times, and venues are confirmed before each course.

The Outdoor Parent, Infant and Toddler focus groups are held in the beautiful outdoor space of the Miro room at Kauri Montessori in Tukuka Street, Nelson. The age range for enrolling to this group is from about 9 months to 2 years.

All facilitators have completed Pennie Brownlee’s “Dance with me in the heart “course.

The Babyfocus facebook page is for families who have attended and are attending Babyfocus classes, or those families interested in learning more of the respectful Pikler and RIE approach to parenting.
