Toddler Parenting

Happy Toddler Hub

We are a support Group for Tiny-Tot Parents.

Raising a toddler is a beautiful journey, but it comes with its own set of challenges and emotions. Our Therapeutic Movement workshops and sessions are designed specifically for parents of infants and toddlers (1 month to 5 years old) to support you through these early years. The sessions aim to help you connect deeply with your child, navigate parenting concerns, and enhance your well-being.

Sessions

Our sessions are held twice a month online.

They incorporate creative movement practices inspired by Dance Movement Therapy principles, offering a holistic approach to parenting support:

Movement and Dance: Engage in creative dancing and mindful movement to release stress and bond with your child.

Expressive Arts Integration: Use art and movement to explore your emotions and experiences.

Meditation Techniques: Simple mindfulness practices, guided imagery, and breathing exercises to promote relaxation.

Music, Props & Creative Arts: These elements keep the sessions lively and help deepen your connection to the experiences.

Types of Sessions

Parent-Only Sessions: Focus on the parent's well-being and personal growth.

Parent & Toddler Sessions: Participate with your little one in activities that nurture bonding and shared joy.

Meet your Facilitators

A Professional Bharatanatyam dancer who has been learning from the age of 6. I have Master’s Degree in Fine Arts, Doordarshan graded artist and a Dance movement therapy facilitator. Dance has always had an impact on my personal and professional life consciously and subconsciously.

Just by understanding that dancing for yourself could be therapeutic by itself, slowly realised adding variations to the same movements was already a part of expressive therapy; which is how it led me to be a part of CMTAI family.

I establish a safe, non-judgmental environment. Help them in exploring, discovering, and/or understanding the outcomes of the sessions conducted and provide honest and sincere reflections for my clients
