  • Attachment

In order for infants to thrive, they need to be coached through exercises such as tummy time, crawling, walking, and all modalities inbetween. While these innate abilities are learned through modulation, the positive reinforcement during this time can be personality developing. Moon Goddess Mama has found musical instruments and sounds overwhelmingly useful when applied to hand eye coordination, physical awareness, and overall level of pleasure for the infant. As the child begins to identify with their growing abilities, so the desire begins to share experiences in connection with others. 

Humans are animals of instinct and thrive with teachings of gentle touchsharing with others, practicing empathy, and learning through secure attachment. Moon Goddess Mama will accompany the child to local learning environments including museums, library's, parks, indoor play areas, swimming pools, music classes, etc. 

As the baby matures into toddler phase, potty training and temper tantrum management tactics become significant. Early problem solving skills can deliver a toddler from the struggle of limitations.
