We are hosting a Simplicity Parenting talk at Milagros this Monday. Here are the details from the class instructor:
Many parents notice at one point or another that their children have accumulated way more stuff than they ever imagined, and that their schedules our so full it requires a separate calendar just to keep track of all the activities.
If you find any discrepancy between the fast track life you and your children are living and the peaceful pace you where imagining as a new parent, please join Yvonne de Maat of Heart in Hand Preschool in an exploration of modern child rearing. You will come away from this talk with some simple ideas you can implement into you life right away to bring about profound change and deeper connections.
This evening is an introduction to the work based on ‘Simplicity Parenting’, a best selling book by Kim Payne.
Yvonne is a trained Waldorf teacher and Simplicity Parenting group leader. She will start a 7 week parent group in October which will look at the many aspects of the home; creating rhythm, clearing up the environment, scheduling, discipline etc.
For more information please call Yvonne at 503 287 4465

Tiny Talkers is bringing its Baby Signing 101 Workshop back to Milagros on Tuesday, June 28, 10:30am:
Are you a busy mom, dad, grandparent, educator or caregiver? Have no time to spare? Then the Baby Signing 101 Workshop is for YOU!
Learning to sign with your baby is simple and you can learn all you need to know in one session. When you learn how to communicate with baby using sign language, you will help reduce tears & tantrums, increase their IQ, boost bonding & actually help them speak earlier than non-signers.
During this workshop, you will learn specific how-to information, invaluable tips & techniques based on how baby’s brain works, activities & games to promote verbal language & get a baby signing dictionary with over 80 helpful signs as well as a journal! The most important thing that the workshop offers is practical advice on how to reach your ultimate goal- verbal language development.
Tiny Talkers teaches American Sign Language (ASL). It is our belief that making up your own language as some other baby sign language programs encourage could present problems if you want others to understand your baby’s signs. Many people know American Sign Language including caregivers at daycare centers and why not give your child a head start on being bilingual?
This workshop is geared toward adults but non-mobile babies welcome if you feel you can comprehend the material while caring for them.
Price Per First Student: $40, Price Per Spouse/Partner: $10
