Attuned Parenting at its Best
Welcome to BabyAttuned
BabyAttuned is
an infant-parent program promoting sensitive parenting and developmental awareness.
Sensitive Parenting: A parent's
response to a baby's signals lays the groundwork for the baby's sense of competence. The caregiver's sensitivity, responsivity,
mutuality, and cooperativeness are important to the baby's development of a secure attachment by the end of the first year.
A secure attachment between infant and parent in the first three years of life creates emotional and social well-being that
supports a child's future success in school, relationships, and life.
Developmental Awareness: Every baby develops
at his/her own unique pace, yet patterns of development are predictable. Learning about and tracking your baby's development
over time gives you a better understanding of your baby's emerging skills and needs.
BabyAttuned offers parents
several opportunities to learn about, monitor, and record their infant's development.
The following opportunities
