To Support the Vision of Mulund Institute
The Heart of Parenting Workshops & Courses
Understanding the stages of development for deeper connection with your child
A short introduction the The Heart of Parenting​​​​
​
Workshops
The Heart of Parenting workshops and courses offer guidance on how to relate to your child in a way that supports connection, growth, and cooperation, grounded in an understanding of the stages of early development.
​
Why this matters
As your child grows, their needs change at each stage of development.
When those changes aren’t understood, it becomes harder to stay connected and to respond in a way that truly supports them.
​
In this work, we explore:
-
Understanding your child’s development and what to expect at each stage
-
How to relate to your child in a way that supports connection and cooperation
-
Discipline as an act of love and reconnection
-
How to respond to your child in a way that truly supports their growth
