Growbaby/Babygro brain development sessions

In conjunction with Dr Amanda Lucas, a developmental psychologist from Babygro, Growbaby is pleased to offer a 6 week course exploring baby brain development and how the way parents/carers interact with their baby can support this.

Babygro is a series of warm, interactive workshops for parents and pre mobile babies, that bring to life the amazing links how we communicate with our babies and how their brains develop.
Through immersive activities, video examples and group discussion, parents discover how relationships support early brain development, and how everyday interactions help babies develop later life wellbeing and resilience.
The course also provides an opportunity to explore some of the questions that matter most to new parents, including crying, feeding and sleep.
Developed by Dr Amanda Lucas, a developmental psychologist and founder of Babygro, and in partnership with the Social Neuroscience of Human Attachment Lab at the University of Essex, the sessions aims to help parents feel more confident in understanding their babies, reassured in their choices, and supported by other families as they grow together.

The sessions will run on consecutive Friday mornings, 10-11.30am starting Friday 6th November until early December.
Sessions are held at The old Carpenters shop, Islington wharf, penryn, TR108AT.
Coffee and cake provided.

These sessions are not suitable for mobile babies/toddlers/older children.
Parents-to -be welcome too.
