Parent & Baby Classes

 Our weekly classes for parents and babies offer parents an immersive, interactive learning experience. Led by Dr Amanda Lucas, the latest research on parent-infant communication is brought to life through joyful, nurturing activities.  The classes are held for two hours per week, for eight weeks, both online and in person in Cornwall.

 Led by developmental psychologist, Dr. Amanda Lucas, the classes give parents-to-be  the confidence to read and respond to early communication in their babies in a nurturing and sensitive way, promoting early bonding and healthy brain development. 

The classes are held for two hours per week, for eight weeks, both online and in person in Cornwall. 

Whether you attend as an expectant parent or a parent with your baby, you will come to understand how different babies have different temperaments and how to respond to your baby’s unique personality. 

You will discover the incredible capacities that even newborn babies have for communication; and observe how responding sensitively to these cues helps infants to regulate their nervous systems, make sense of their emotions, and manage stress. 

The most up-to-date research in developmental psychology and brain development will be brought to life in an engaging way with immersive activities and insightful video examples. 

The workshops are a unique opportunity to be part of a support network with other new parents. Sharing worries or concerns with others who are going through similar experiences can reduce anxiety, invite fresh ideas and a create a new perspective.

The classes provide a platform for discussion around fundamental topics including sleep, crying, as well as apprehensions about going back to work and childcare. These discussions are informed with insights from the latest research.
