Baby Play Workshop with PlayWell

Join Petworth Peanuts and Play Well DC for an exclusive caregiver-parent play workshop designed to help families understand the hows and whys of interacting with their little ones, from birth to 6 months.

We will discuss and practice:

• Importance of floor time play and its link to other developmental skills
• Alternative positions to work on tummy time and sitting for those babies that may get frustrated with the “regular” positions
• Transition to sitting and its link to play and mealtimes.
• Appropriate toys how to utilize these within play and daily life
• Early language skills and reading cues and signals
• Strategies for soothing
• Development of your baby’s senses and how these link to learning and play
• Screening for head preference or flattening of head

You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance from the therapists leading the workshop, as well as from other parents who are attending. The therapists leading this workshop have a wealth of experience and knowledge of early child development, both personally and professionally. You will leave this workshop feeling more confident in your parenting abilities, and will gain a new resource to ask follow-up questions.

This class is $25 per family and will be hosted in Grant Circle Park (weather permitting). The Petworth Library is also reserved in case of rain.
