When you have a baby, everything changes.

The transition to parenthood is often a challenging time for new parents. Dr. John Gottman’s research shows that 67% of parents experience a significant drop in relationship satisfaction in the 1st year after the birth of a child
. Further research has shown that relationship discord and conflict have a profound negative effect on the families’ infants and toddlers. Traditionally couples and birth preparation programs have typically been focused on the day of birth rather than what helps couples when they bring their baby home.

The Bringing Baby Home Program is a unique educational program for pregnant couples and families with children up to the age of three. The program was developed by relationship experts, Drs John and Julia Gottman at the Relationship Research Institute in Seattle, to improve the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening the parental relationship. The program is based on over 30 years of research and has been tested to ensure its effectiveness.

Come learn more about this amazing program and how you can prepare yourself for life with your baby and discover how to be the best parenting team possible.
