How are the classes structured?
Each class begins with a welcome song. The instructor will spend time helping each family reflect on their play sessions, helping parents see their baby’s capabilities as we move through our 8 weeks together. Then, we will be discussing a relevant parenting topic each week that is based in scientific research and the principles of respectful parenting. We will end with a farewell song. The routine and rhythm helps baby become familiar with our classes over our 8 weeks together.
How are Play2Grow different from other baby and me classes?
Our classes are made to uphold the importance of baby play in developing the baby’s authentic self. Each week is built on the knowledge and practices of the previous week(s). Through Play2Grow, parents enhance their attunement and responsiveness to their baby’s unique developmental needs. Thus, the program is cohesive and comprehensive, empowering families to fully utilize play to enhance their baby’s development and deepen their connection with their baby – right from the start.
Who are the classes for?
The classes are for any family with children between 4-14 months old. As we are opening our classes virtually, we welcome families from all over the world. Please keep in mind that our class times are in Pacific Standard Time (PST).
How long are the classes?
Each class is 1 hour 15 minutes long, for 8 consecutive weeks (unless there is a holiday, which will be noted).
How are the groups conducted?
Each class will be held on Zoom. The day before your class, you will be emailed a Zoom link and password. If you haven’t gotten the link on the morning of your class, please email info@imperfectparent.ca.
Video should ideally show yourself and your baby in their play space on the floor. We ask that families to remain in the class by being on video during the entire class. However, if you need to leave to get something, care for baby or yourself, please feel free to do so and join us again when you are able. Classes will not be recorded.
About Me
Parenting is hard work. For those who struggle daily, or even moment to moment, I see you. I was you. I am you! When I found respectful parenting, it resonated with me to my core and I knew this was the enduring approach that could help many parents out there. Combining my childhood development and early education experiences, I launched Imperfect Parent as a way to guide parents to a rewarding, loving, and deeply bonded relationship with their child. Parenting can be an anxiety-free and joyful journey.
Come see how.
