"Bringing Baby Home", is a program, from the Gottman Institute, and seeks to help parents understand the possible challenges of life with a new baby and support them in the transition into parenthood for the first or second or third etc. time!
Over the day the course aims to help parents have the time and space to understand what successful couples do, and practise the skills to maintain friendship, regulate conflict and improve the quality of parent-infant interaction and the emotional environment for their baby (and their other children if they have them.)
“We really enjoyed the course and learning about how to preserve our relationship rather than something else baby related. Really intersting course content that I've found incredibly useful, even before the baby is here. I have recommended to friends as there is never anything else about our relationship and the transition to parents, its all focusing on how to be parents and take care of a little one. Extremely benefical to all couples having a baby! Thank you Katie for a great course, delivered brilliantly"
