3/22/2024 Free Baby Massage Webinar!

Abby H.

My kiddos aren’t babies anymore, but I did take a class very similar to this one when they were small, and it really helped with soothing colic and getting over tired babies to sleep.

Learn how to soothe your little one through infant massage when you attend our free parent webinar, Baby Massage: How Your Touch Can Soothe & Calm Your Little One, on March 22, 2024 at 12 pm Central Time.
Join HealthyChildren.org medical editor and host Dr. Jennifer Shu as she welcomes our guest expert, Patti Ideran, a pediatric occupational therapist (who is also known as “The Baby Whisperer”), for a discussion about the amazing benefits of baby massage. Learn practical massage techniques, including the CALM touch strategy, to ease tension, enhance flexibility, and create lasting bonds with your little one.
Everyone who registers for the webinar will automatically be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a free copy of Ms. Ideran’s book, The CALM Baby Method: Solutions for Fussy Days and Sleepless Nights! Ten lucky winners will be announced at the end of the presentation.

Virtual Parent Workshop: Self-Monitoring Tools in the Home

Abby H.

This flyer showed up in my email inbox this morning and is a great opportunity to learn and help support your kids. My son’s class does Self & Match and it’s a great way to help kids learn about personal responsibility.

This Self & Match Virtual Parent Workshop takes place on May 11, 2021 at 9:00-10:30 am.

This interactive and hands-on workshop will provide an opportunity for parents and home providers to learn a well-defined, systematic self-monitoring intervention and motivational system to use in the home and school settings. A discussion of self-monitoring procedures incorporating a “match” component will be presented with a specific focus on Self & Match, a user-friendly, easy to implement.

Parents will be shared practice tools and tips that can be implemented immediately. Great workshop for individuals and/or teams (parents and in-home behavior analysts).

Make a note on your calendar and add this link to your online calendar.

Virtual Sleep Well Yoga with Jennie Olson Six

Abby H.

My friend and Yogini, Jennie Olson Six is offering an awesome, relaxing 30 minutes of unwinding movement and the rest of the time is a restful relaxation.

You can do this on your mat or in bed and then drift off to sleep!

Most of us miss our pre-pandemic exercise time. I don’t know about you, but I miss the quiet relaxation that yoga provides. It is impossible for me to do yoga in a house full of people (and CAT). Interruptions (mom mom mom mom mooooooom), cat trying to sleep on my mat, even the Amazon Guy knocking on the door- OY VEY.

The best part of this class is that it fits every budget-By Donation or Free

Jennie has some great tips and more information on other workouts and yoga opportunities for FREE here.
