Transition to Parenthood

Babies can bring out both the best and worst in parents – we have new parent programs to help you during this exciting and often difficult transition to parenthood.

Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and new fiscal concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital & relationship satisfaction – all of which affect baby’s care and development. Not surprisingly, 67% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment and hurt feelings.

Our research-based programs, for expecting and new parents, prepare you and your partner for the transition to parenthood. In a relaxed and supportive environment, you will learn to strengthen your relationship and foster your baby’s development during this challenging time. Therefore, by signing up for one of our programs, you and your partner will be the best parent-team possible.
