Hello Moms and Dads

The books we use have made a change that may be really helpful for those of us with kids needing to arrange childcare. The infant class is still 5 weeks long but I am going to try something new for the 3-6 month olds to help with feeding and introduction to solid foods. The new book is called Babyhood Transitions and is for 5- 12 month olds. It has a lot of information on introducing solids and so instruction on highchair behavior, sleeping, correction, and other discipline related topics. Here is the plan. Around 3-6 months (your baby's age) I will offer a 3 week class covering the "Babyhood Transitions" materials. I will then offer a Pre-Toddler/Toddler class lasting 3 weeks that will cover ages 12mo to 3 years. In this class we will talk about discipline, sleeping, wake-time, and the things we don't really talk a lot about in the Baby classes. This 3 week class will be a lot of questions/ answer discussion on things you are dealing with at that time. I think this will help break up the class so you are not having to get a sitter for 5 weeks in a row.

The cost for the Infant class is $55 and the Babyhood Transitions class will be $35. All the classes will still meet at Boones Creek Christian Church.I will begin offering the Toddler class for 12mo- to 3 years when I start getting more interest. I really think getting this information early will help you with the introduction of solids and discipline in your child's life. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
