Your baby is learning how to think, feel, and behave, and you are one of her most important teachers. Her survival instincts cause her to want to be like you, so she is paying close attention. Even when it seems like she's just being a baby-grabbing at your hair while nursing, laughing in delight as you tickle and squeeze her-your little bright light is actually studying you quite intensely, taking note of your tone of voice, your facial expressions, the way your touch feels, and all kinds of other sensory cues, in addition to how it generally feels to be around you. As mama-the one who carried her for (give or take) forty weeks and the person she's likely spending most of her time with-you are an indisputable star in the riveting reality show she calls life.
As you may already know, your influence on your baby's experience started early. Science and the fields of fetal psychology and epigenetics, which studies genetic expression, can now show us that your baby began tuning into you when she was still in the womb. Read more...

For Grandparents
Are you a bit baffled about all the changes in infant care? Are your swaddling skills a bit rusty? How can you best support a new breastfeeding mother? Why are babies now sleeping on their backs? Who is the new Dr. Spock? Can you talk the talk? What is "attachment parenting," "skin-to-skin" contact, the "Five S's" "white noise", and "babywearing"? And how does that car seat work, anyway? Come and enjoy a glass of wine while Wendy explains what's new in parenting and why. You can be the best informed and Happiest Grandparent on the Block! Call 310-998-1981 to register.

with Anne-Michael Smith, ASL Interpreter
Oct 11th at 1pm
Every parent wonders, "What is my baby trying to say?" Two years is an awfully long time to wait for the answer! What if your baby could tell you exactly what she's thinking? What if he could tell you that she's wet or hungry? Wouldn't it be wonderful to understand your baby's needs and for your baby to be understood? It's possible, today, right now, with SignShine®.
Are you ready to get started? On your marks, get set, sign! During this hour and a half workshop parents will get the complete low down: research, benefits, and answers to all your questions. You'll learn when and how to start communicating with your child via Sign Language and learn fun and functional signs. Not only will you walk away with useful handouts, but you'll also learn how to enrich your child's development of language, speech, vocabulary, and intelligence using American Sign Language (ASL). Practical signs, interactive games, songs, storytelling, music, movement and parenting skills.
