Module 5: Parenting Styles

Guiding Principle of Relationship: Human development occurs within relationship from the beginning. Human connections and the surrounding environment profoundly influence the quality and structure of every aspect of a baby's development. From the beginning of life, baby experiences and internalizes what mother experiences and feels. Father’s and/or partner’s relationship with mother and baby are integral to optimizing primary foundations for baby. All relationships and encounters with mother, baby, and father during this primary period affect the quality of life and baby’s foundation. Supportive, loving, and healthy relationships are integral to optimizing primary foundations for baby. This module delves into how parents can uncover more about their own earliest experiences as a child prior to conceiving, or at any point along their parenting journey, to create optimal conditions for bonding and meeting the emotional needs of their child.
