Babies and young children move through dozens of emotions every day, but they aren’t born knowing how to understand or manage them. That’s where attuned conversations come in. 🎥Watch the full Explainer on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=p8ht-_xT…

Tummy time is such a great multi-sensory activity. We learn to make sense of the world, move, engage and thrive through our senses. Opportunities to move freely on the floor are important for everyone.

Baby massage is a lovely multi-sensory parenting activity, based on the baby's behaviour. It's a lovely time to learn more about your baby's likes and dislikes and what, chat, connect and relax.
