Our goal is to take you back to the beginning, to help you create a secure bond in which your child feels secure. This is developed by letting them know they are safe, and that their needs will be met.
The most important beginning is having a regulated nervous system. We can implement a variety of techniques within the aquatic environment to help with this regulation. We can teach you, as the parent, to be the facilitator, which will contribute to the bonding process.
We will also begin by helping you, as the parent, to feel relaxed, which is also the beginning of bonding because your child is looking to you for guidance.
Our warm, gentle, quiet environment can imitate the security and comfort of the womb that your child was once accustomed to.
Once the nervous system is regulated, your child is ready to experience senses in a positive manner and able to learn and explore the world.
The next step is helping you read your child's cues. Everything they do is expressing something to you, through looks, movements and babbles. We will help you interpret these meanings, and help you to meet their needs.
This regulation and secure bond will foster increased intelligence, confidence, happiness and growth for your child.
It will create a sense of peace for you, because your child will become more predictable as you are able to understand them and read their cues.
Let us help you foster this partnership for you and your child.
