Scientific research from the last four decades has proven that the foundation of a child's  emotional and physical development begins in the womb. 

 

“PARENTING AND DEVELOPMENT BEGIN BEFORE BIRTH” Dr. Monk et al 2019

​

PD has been created to give parents the tools to give their unborn child the best foundation for:

​

• Child and adult brain and hormonal adaptation

• Attachment theory

• Perinatal stress and resilience processes

• Child socio-emotional regulation 

• Outcome measures focusing on attachment and long-term parental and child physiology

​

The goal of PD is to empower and support parents during pregnancy and birth by providing them with knowledge and the tools to mitigate stress. These resources and support systems aim to help expectant parents navigate the emotional challenges that arise during this transformative period. Equipping parents with information and strategies to reduce stress, promotes a healthier and more positive experience for both the parents and the baby.

 

Proper stress management during pregnancy and birth can have long-term benefits for the emotional well-being and development of the child and contribute to a more positive parent-child relationship.

​

Reasurch has demonstrated that PD helps mothers/gestational parents to achieve:

​

• Fewer C-sections

• Fewer preterm births

• Fewer signs of postpartum depression

• Very strong mother-infant attachment and reciprocity 

• Increased self-reliant and confident mothering
