You Can Make a Difference.

Today's parents are overwhelmed with information; they have friends and family and neighbors, and even total strangers, telling them how to care for their new baby. They have access to massive amounts of information on the internet, but much of this information is conflicting. How can parents determine what the "good" information is? They may have access to childbirth education classes and maybe even some newborn care classes, but does that help them with the questions new parents really need to know the answers to, such as 'How do I soothe my baby?" and "How do I help my baby sleep?" Or even some of the questions they may not realize they need answers to, such as "How will a new baby affect my relationship with my partner? How can we keep our relationship strong?" New Parent Educators are the answer to the above problems. In the certification trainings, new parent educators will be taught evidence-based information on the many topics that concern expecting and new parents. But it doesn't stop there. The training also teaches new parent educators the skills to teach parents in ways that are engaging making it easier to implement these practical skills in their lives. Laura took the lead in creating the original New Parent Educator training in 2017, and is offering the fully revised and expanded course starting in January 2025! This training is the first step towards certification as a Professional New Parent Educator (CPNPE)
