As new parents, we want to do and be the very best for our children.
‘Parenting With Heart’ classes build capable, self-confident and content children through heart centred, respectful care of infants and toddlers. Focusing on the personal skills required to support the natural unfolding of infants and children up to school age.
‘Parenting With Heart’ is more than a class. ‘Parenting With Heart’ is a place where you and your baby will be nurtured, you will be accepted, you will be encouraged and you will experience what is needed to strengthen and maintain your bond, your relationship with your child.
The relationship is all.
At ‘Parenting With Heart’ classes we build community. A place full of trust, trust in ourselves as parents, and trust in our children. A place to learn who you are and who you want to be, to see who your child really is and how you want your family to relate to each other. It is a place where you will meet other parents and be supported in your role as a parent. A place where you build a community of kindness around yourself and your child while making your experience of parenthood a pleasure.

To respect and be respected. That fosters LOVE.
How quickly the world we live in tries to speed up, ‘assist’, package and determine what makes a society productive, and how to raise our children. But how about pausing, observing, reconnecting and including before moving forward in such a rush – awareness of self and others will always produce a nurturing world. It will create a society which is a better place for our children to grow, a better place for our children’s future.
Our role as a parent is to gently guide and partner our children through their day. Our children are their own person, with their own needs, their own wants, which may not coincide with what the parents need or want from them. But the practice in a ‘culture of kindness, a culture of respect’ as delivered in the ‘Parenting With Heart’, Parent- Infant classes, will show you how to work with your children to fulfil their needs, and to ask for their participation in fulfilling yours when you need to.
THE QUALITY OF THE FIRST RELATIONSHIP SETS THE SCENE FOR EVERY OTHER RELATIONSHIP WHICH WILL FOLLOW.

Toddlerhood is a crucial, but often misunderstood stage in children’s development. So ‘Parenting With Heart’ will grow alongside the parents and children who attend. As the babies grow, additional support for parents will be added by providing classes for older babies and toddlers who have attended the Parent-Infant classes. The toddler classes will empower parents to relate more confidently and in partnership with their child as their child enters the stage of will power.
In partnership, my will with their will.
