Well Baby's philosophy is rooted in the emerging field of infant-family mental health We believe that healthy early relationships are the cornerstones of an infant's emotional, cognitive, and physical growth and development Infants and toddlers rely on their parents to make sense of their world A primary relationship - where a parent mindfully attends to a child's emotional needs-is crucial to normal growth and development and parents need support for such an awesome task Social support for new parents has been found to be the single most important protective factor available to prevent and eradicate entrenched, multi-generational family problems Social support mitigates feelings of "overwhelm" in new parents who are constantly giving to their children, their bosses, their spouses, their friends -- and ending up feeling completely depleted Our parenting center provides what parents seem to need most - a like-minded community where they can truly belong
