One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a strong, loving relationship between you and your partner. As exciting as it is to welcome a baby into your life, it’s easy for first-time parents to become immersed in the baby’s world, often overlooking the emotional connection between each other.
Did you know that 67% of couples experience a decline in relationship quality during the first three years of their baby's life? But don’t worry – you can avoid this! A healthy relationship between partners is essential for your child's development, and we're here to help.
Introducing the new Bringing Baby Home (BBH) Workshop, developed by renowned relationship and parenting experts Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This research-based, psychoeducational workshop is dedicated to improving the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening the emotional bond between parents. Whether as an individual couple or in a group setting, you’ll engage in presentations, exercises, and discussions designed to help you build a healthier relationship.
