We asked Melissa Curtis: How do you help teachers feel confident managing babies in class? 👩🍼
"We take the fear out of it by making it practical and realistic with lots of attention grabbers and how to deal with a change in the atmosphere. Although we make sure the parent gets as much out of the class as possible, the babies are always a part of the practice.
I teach teachers how to work with babies, how to read cues, adapt in the moment and create a sequence that allows both mum and baby to be supported with lots of fun too. We also talk honestly about what to expect, such as crying, feeding, sleeping, unpredictability and how to stay grounded through it all.
Confidence comes from understanding, being well-trained, preparation and permission to not have everything perfectly controlled. Yes, this class is very different to any other class you will teach, but the rewards are endless."
