Coleen ParkerA wonderful course that teaches us that babies do know how to communicate and also teaches how important it is for them to be around other adults and kids. I would definitely recommend this course to any parent, carer or practitioner. -
Hector TorresVery good class. It was easy to understand and follow. Definitely useful in being a parent to an infant.
