Parenting workshops just for premmie parents

Attend a Premmie Parenting course while your little one is still admitted to the NICU. This will provide you with valuable, practical and up-to-date research-based information to help you cope with prematurity, interact and bond with your little one (even the very ill baby) and just enjoy the time in the hospital, instead of experiencing it as negative. Parents, grandparents and nannies will find these workshops very valuable. Find a licensed Little Steps Parenting Facilitator in your area and ask to see her valid license certificate to be renewed annually. This will ensure that you really get the latest information.
