Parenting with Intention
The First Year
In the first year of life, your baby's incredible brain doubles in size. Yes, doubles! These early building blocks of their development are the foundation of their life long journey toward healthy social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. By bringing intention to our parenting, we have the beautiful opportunity to set them up for success from the very start.

Through respectful Montessori parenting we can support our babies tremendously in these first, fundamental 12 months of life!
As parents, the greatest gift we can give our children is our own preparedness. Our willingness to learn and grow alongside them, for them. and also for ourselves.
​
So, who is this course for?
Parents and caregivers of babies age 0-12 months. It would be ideal to begin this course even during pregnancy - in the months leading up to welcoming this new life into your world. From birth to around 10 months, this course would have the biggest impact. For over 10 months of age, I would suggest beginning our toddler course, 'Parenting with Intention: A Peaceful Home for Capable Kids.'
​
Is this an online course?
Yes! This is a fully self-guided online video course. Accessible to families and caregivers all around the world. Our Parenting with Intention Community does meet once a month on Zoom to connect, gain support, learn from field experts and ask questions if there are any.
