Newborn Course

March 28th & 29th 2024 

The first year of life is vital to the well-being of the baby. Although learning continues throughout life, there is a special window of opportunity for brain growth and learning that occurs in the first twelve months of life. 

We now know that intellectual development starts at birth, if not earlier. This means that effective sensory stimulation is essential for the baby. We also know that mobility development starts in utero and must be permitted to continue from the instant of birth onward.

Anything that physically stops or restricts the baby for any significant time decreases the precious opportunity to move.

Appropriate intellectual stimulation and mobility opportunity are the basis for language and manual development. All babies have a right to move and explore. Babies are born moving, but too often the modern baby is bundled up, put upside down on his back, put in a baby seat or a backpack, and has no opportunity to crawl. This teaches the baby that movement is impossible.

Our parents learn how to start right at birth to create a great mobility environment so that the baby is crawling in no time, then creeping, and cruising the household to explore and discover.

Parents learn how to evaluate their baby through The Institutes Developmental Profile. This gives each parent a clear picture of where the baby’s development is on track and where it needs more stimulation and opportunity. This program gives a detailed map of the first twelve months and carefully guides mother and father through each stage. Parents quickly see that development should not occur by accident but rather on purpose with a clear plan that works.

For Parents of  Well Children

Little children love to learn and parents are their very best teachers. Parents naturally adore their children and want their child to have a life of accomplishment and fulfillment. But most parents do not have the tools they need to create an environment that provides the stimulation and opportunity that are appropriate and effective to help their baby to learn at home and become capable and confident. These tools are simple and available to anyone who can read a book or attend a course.

The Newborn Course is designed for expectant parents, and parents with babies younger than 12 months.  It details each stage of a baby’s development, providing vital information about the appropriate stimulation of the sensory pathways and gives effective opportunity for the development of mobility, language development and manual competence.  This creates a life-long relationship of love and respect.

Our Newborn courses are now online, and available to parents worldwide.
