Good News! Operation Us will again be offering this special one-day workshop for expectant parents in the Springfield area.
There is a lot to do before your baby arrives - diapers, cribs... and relationship advice? You better believe it! Baby proofing doesn't just apply to your house, it also applies to your relationship. The arrival of a baby can bring a lot of new challenges that not only affect the relationship between you and your child, but between you and your spouse also.
Our unique program lets us work with expectant couples and expectant single parents. We'll help you to...
• Learn to show appreciation and love in ways that are meaningful to your partner
• Learn to raise concerns in more effective and less hurtful ways
• Learn to talk in ways that won't drain energy from the relationship
• Strengthen your relationship
• Discuss common concerns for new parents
• Focus on skills for problem-solving
• Practice conflict resolution
Don't forget! This event is not just for married or coupled parents. We've set up the event so that it will be relevant to all expectant parents – solo parents are as welcome as couples.
But don't take our word for it! Check out this video of last year's Hitched (or Not) & Hatching event!
Join us on Saturday, August 25, 2012 for a fun and informative day. You'll take away a better understanding of how your relationship choices will affect your children, and how to make sure you're making safe choices for their future.
