I remember walking around while I was newly pregnant. I was excited,
nervous, and apprehensive. I was convinced people could see it in my face that I was pregnant, because I had that look in
my eyes and in my smile of, "I know something you don't". As my belly began to grow, it was obvious to everyone that I was
pregnant, the secret was out. What I didn't realize was that my belly was an open invitation for advice. Well, actually it
was more like warnings than advice. "Enjoy your sleep now. I hope your labor doesn't go as long as mine did. We have two kids
and now we are DONE!" You get the picture. Everyone seemed to say congratulations and then followed it with some piece of
advice.
Babies don't come with operating manuals, we all know that, but after having six children of my own, there are some recurrent
themes that come up and most of them have to do with not the individual child, but with how my husband and I choose to parent
and react to parenting challenges.
Our New Baby Package offers parents a chance to truly prepare for their new child in
a way that is as individual as they are.
The package includes:
- 2 sessions while you are pregnant (preferably during the last trimester),
- 4 sessions after the baby is born, and
- 4 phone sessions on alternating weeks.
- Also included is unlimited e-mail communication during this 2 month period.
Some topics that are discussed:
-
parenting goals and how to keep those goals in focus
-
partnership in parenting
-
importance of relationship building - with partner and friends
-
importance of maintaining self identity
-
pro-active parenting
