Bringing Baby Home Workshops

Strategies for keeping your relationship strong while making the leap into parenthood

Did you know that according to research by Dr. John Gottman approximately 69% of new parents experience increased conflict, disappointment, and hurt feelings after the birth of their child?

When we’re expecting a new child, many of us spend countless hours planning and preparing for the birth and often overlook the importance of emotionally preparing for the transition to parenthood.

Being a new parent is so exciting. It’s also hard work, and it can put strain on your relationship.

Over 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman has shown that many couples experience more conflict and tension after the birth of their first child.

This conflict and tension can be associated with negative outcomes for infants and toddlers.

The good news is that we can help!

Partners will learn to:

  • Enhance your friendship
  • Increase intimacy and affection post-baby
  • Create positive parent-child interactions with both parents
  • Understand infant and child development
  • Improve the way you and your partner communicate, connect, work through conflict, and compromise
  • Recognize signs of postpartum mood disorders and gain awareness of support resources and options
