About this event
A collaborative workshop with Héloïse Stauff, CEIM & Alexis Rhodes, Certified Child Life Specialist and Doula
Becoming a big brother or sister is a big deal. This workshop gives toddlers a warm, unhurried space to connect with their new baby sibling — and to begin building that bond through gentle touch.
Alexis Rhodes, Certified Child Life Specialist and Doula, will guide toddlers through activities that invite emotional expression and help them introduce their baby sibling in their own way.
Héloïse Stauff, Certified Educator of Infant Massage, will teach simple strokes for legs and feet, adapted for little hands — including how to observe a baby's cues, look for signs of readiness, and offer gentle, respectful touch. Parents will be invited to support their toddler throughout.
For families with a toddler 18 months – 4 years and a baby sibling 6 weeks – 8 months.
