Infant Motor Development and Nervous System Regulation, Join Us At Mama Roots Collective

Class Description

Tummy Time is one of the best and most easily accessible ways to support your baby’s brain development, nervous system regulation, motor development, as well as secure attachment; laying the foundation for optimal development for life. This class approaches tummy time from a relational lens and strengthens awareness of both your own as well as your baby’s state and regulation. In this supportive environment we slow down and find ways to accommodate each baby-parent dyad and their unique needs so you can develop the individualized routine that will help your baby love tummy time and allow you to better understand your baby’s cues.
