I was thrilled to find this website. Babiesknow classes are a new joint venture from Dr Yehudi Gordon and Kitty Hagenbach. Dr Gordon's book Birth and Beyond is the only book I wished I had had before I had children. It is jam packed full of great information about pregnancy, labour and the early years, but written from a heart centered space, unlike so many books on parenting. With an emphasis on attachment and highlighting just how important it is for a baby to be close to it's primary carer these courses are making available up to date scientific research so that this style of parenting is no longer for 'hippy' mums but for everyone who wants mentally healthy, grounded children who will be a contribution to the world. In my experience it also results in happy parents and a wonderful closeness with your children.When I saw the Babiesknow website I was filled with great joy and excitement because at last here was a team that were putting into action all those things that we believe parenting should be about. I am so glad that we are now seeing a sea change away from controlled crying/ cry it out/ clock watching/ competitive parenting that was so prevalent in the 00's. With classes such as these parents will realise that the concerns we all had about the 'detached' method of parenting was not about the short term effects but in fact the whole life of that baby, this website clearly explains that.
At the moment classes are only in London, but there is so much great information on the site that even if you did not make a class or workshop you would learn loads.
