About the Course

In the moveMentors: Pediatrics program, you learned about the sequential development of children and how to specifically support them at home. In this course, we’ll give you tools for the other end of the caregiving relationship (you!) as well as the relationship itself.

 

Respectful communication begins with caregiving; discover how to communicate respect through words, movement, and actions. 


From diaper changes to getting kids in and out of car seats, a caregiver is often in compromising positions that leave them feeling achy and exhausted. Learn how to navigate these movements appropriately while still supporting a child’s development. 

Course Objectives

  • Discover the keys to successfully communicating with a child during caregiving and WHY this is crucial for physical and emotional development.


  • Dive into practices for establishing a respectful and autonomous relationship with a child.


  • Build strength during and between caregiving practices and learn practices to maintain calm throughout the day.


Instructors:

Jenna Somich, RIE-trained professional nanny, parent, movement coach, and movement enthusiast

Dr. Lindsay Mumma, chiropractor, DNS-trained practitioner, NLP Practitioner, parent, chiropractic continuing education instructor, and movement enthusiast
