Course information.
​​You love them already - and you want to show up well. Not just with the nappy changes and the cuddles (though those matter too), but in the way you support their parents, navigate the relationship, and find your footing in this new chapter of family life.
In the 'Baby care and support in the the early weeks' course you receive the practical knowledge to feel genuinely useful in the first six weeks - whether you're caring for the baby directly or holding the space around a new parent who needs support. You'll get current, evidence-based information on newborn care alongside an introduction to matrescence - what's happening emotionally and physically for the new mother - so your support lands in a way that's actually helpful.
​
What you'll learn:
​
-
Feeding, sleep and settling - what's normal and what helps
-
Newborn safety essentials
-
What helpful support looks like in those early weeks (and what doesn't)
-
The difference between being a visitor and being a helper
-
Matrescence: understanding the new mother's experience
​
In the 'Grandparenting Today: Navigating the grandparent relationship' course you will learn about the shift and move through it with confidence, care and clarity.
​
You'll explore grandescence - the transition into your new role - and develop the self-awareness, communication skills and boundary-setting tools to support your family without overstepping. Because the relationship between grandparent and parent is one of the most important ones in a child's life, and it's worth getting right.
​
What you'll learn:
-
Understanding and navigating the transition to grandparenting
-
Self-care and why it matters more than you might think
-
How to set healthy boundaries - and why they actually strengthen relationships
-
Active listening and communication skills for navigating your relationship with new parents
-
How to support through pregnancy and the lead-up to birth​
