💜IT TAKES A VILLAGE💜
‘It takes a village to raise a child’ goes the old saying. And how true that is! Babies, children, parents, grandparents, extended family and friends all benefit hugely from sharing the childcare load and supporting the parents in other ways too (home cooked meal anyone?!).
Yet life today often means that our natural ‘village’ isn’t always there around us when babies are born and children are raised. Family members maybe don’t live close by, still work themselves or care for elderly relatives, friends work full time, partners also… so where does that leave the mothers and babies? So often alone, doing that hugely overwhelming task of parenting, solo.
Sadly, we don’t have a magic wand to fix this situation. BUT we do have the next best thing! 🌟 So often it has been said that our Nurture Me Baby Massage classes are the ONLY place parents have felt like they’ve really been able to connect and form friendships with other parents going through a similar time. And the friendships formed last long beyond the end of our courses. It brings us genuine joy to bump into mum friends who have met on our courses, out and about together years after we’ve taught them! Knowing we created the conditions for those little villages and support networks to form, is absolutely priceless!
Did you find your village?
