WORKSHOP „BABY GYM & PARENT SCHOOL“
Sigriswil, Switzerland – located in the beautiful Berner Oberland at lake Thun with view to the famous mountains „Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau“
The training will consist of 5 days where
– you attend a life Baby Gym class with me every day
– we exchange our observations of the Baby Gym class every day
– we talk about important aspects in the parent - child interaction: You’ll get concrete input on how to educate the parents about their child’s development and how to integrate this in a playful way into the lesson
– I’ll share observations that I did during my 10 years of Baby Gym:
Parents have concepts and ideas on how the child “should behave” that don’t always respect the child’s developmental stage. You’ll get concrete ideas how to deal with these ideas and how to address them in a playful way that respects the child’s development rather than feeds into the “fixing” of the child.
– you get ideas for at least 10 lessons, so you’ll be ready to start your own Baby Gym right when you get back home
– you’ll get a printed booklet with example fotos of some lessons, the ideas and concepts behind each lesson and with room for your personal notes that you take during the workshop
Requirements to participate in the workshop:
– you are an ABM®NM® or Feldenkrais Practitioner or did a similar training
– you are familiar with the idea of connecting instead of fixing the child
– you are familiar with the concepts of the 9 essentials
– you have some knowledge about the development of the child’s brain
If you come to Switzerland, I’d love you to experience some of our beautiful nature, culture and architecture.

I’m happy to organize a zoom call to answer all your questions.
To the question if I offer the training on zoom:
I don’t see how this would be possible as you’d be missing the most important part: the life gym.
