Nurturing Newborn Attachment

That deep bond between a baby and their primary caregiver is called attachment. Attachment develops over time when you respond to your newborn in warm, consistent ways. When your child is attached to you, they feel safe with you and their surroundings.

This class will teach you the basics of attachment so that you can deepen your relationship with your baby. A strong attachment with your child helps them to become secure, confident, independent, and compassionate.   

When and where is it offered?

• The class is available as a group workshop and a private class.
• The group class is offered several times per year. Scroll down for upcoming dates.
• You can attend this class online or in person at our office at 9912-106 Street, Edmonton.
