“Ready for Change” workshops for parents expecting a child and parents of children up to 12 months old

The workshops cover children’s most important needs and the developmental changes that occur in how children perceive the world and in their psyche during the first year of life.

What do these changes mean for parents as they get to know and learn about their little one? How can they respond to the child’s needs, stimulate development, and at the same time care for themselves and their spouse? Workshop participants will seek answers to these and many other questions together with Anna Łopuch from the Evangelium Vitae Foundation in Wrocław, a psychologist working with children and leading workshops and meetings for parents, and privately a wife and mother.

The workshops will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2015, at 10:30 a.m. (until approximately 2:00 p.m.). Registration by June 13.
