Parenting Smart Babies
Parenting Smart Babies (PSB) specializes in strengthening the social and emotional bond between infants and their parents and/or caregivers by showing families a myriad of fascinating ways to stimulate their child’s amazing brain. Participants are given the tools to help them gain confidence in their ability to care for their baby. Meaningful interaction between caregivers and babies of all ages has a profound impact on a child’s social, psychological, emotional and intellectual development. The more caregivers know about their baby’s brain and developmental milestones, the more successful that child will be. Participants are given the opportunity to be linked to other community resources, offered monthly parent support meetings, family outings and program-sponsored events.
