Bringing Baby Home is a 4-session workshop for expectant & new parents with children under the age of three years old. The live, virtual sessions will cover the evidence-based program developed by The Gottman Institute that supports parents in sustaining a strong, healthy relationship as they navigate the transition into parenthood. This program is intended for parents to participate together, as the focus of the workshop is to strengthen the parent-parent relationship.
The goal of Bringing Baby Home is to equip partner parents with the knowledge & skill sets needed to cope with the various changes that typically occur during the first three years after your baby is born.
Despite the excitement of welcoming a new baby, research shows that within three years after the birth of a child, approximately two-thirds of parents experience a significant drop in their relationship quality and will have a dramatic increase in conflict & hostility. Years of research has shown that a couple's emotional connection is the real foundation for a baby's social, emotional, and cognitive development.
Bringing Baby Home provides a research-based, research-tested program to help new parents equip themselves with the knowledge & skills needed to build a strong foundation for ongoing relationship satisfaction and optimal child development.
In the Bringing Baby Home workshop, you and your partner parent will learn how to:
- Strengthen your partnership
- Increase intimacy and affection
- Work through conflict with greater ease
- Maintain relationship satisfaction
- Reduce hostility
- Create positive child-parent interactions
- Ensure quality involvement for both parents
- Reduce the incidence or severity of post partum mood disorders
Additionally, each couple will receive a digital package including:
- Bringing Baby Home Couple’s Workbook
- Love Maps Card Deck
- Love Maps for Couples with Kids Card Deck
- Open-Ended Questions Card Deck
- Father Cards Card Deck
- Softened Start-Up Card Deck
