Wonderful things are happening inside your womb as your baby develops. Parenting begins right from the moment of conception when a woman realizes she is pregnant and all through to the wonderful journey ahead of her and her spouse. Knowing about your baby’s development will give you insight into the changes happening inside your baby as it moves up the ladder from the fetal stage through infancy and into childhood.
We naturally think about the baby’s growth in terms of height and weight but while it is still in the womb it is growing in a far more complex and almost miraculous way. Through the process of synaptogenesis the fetal brain develops laying the foundation for neural connections and traits that are going to last for a lifetime. There is much you can do as parents to influence and shape your child’s development and intelligence. Babies are born with Attachment Promoting Behaviors (APBs), sensitive parental responses to these and the early relationship with caregivers forms a blueprint for the little person to respond to situations and people for years to come.
The early stimulation program at ‘Gyneguide’ will equip you to stimulate your child’s intelligence right from when it is in your womb.
"Parenthood: the most wonderful time in a couple’s life. Rightly said a baby gives birth to parents!"
Through our attachment parenting program our developmental psychologist will enable you to build lasting bonds with your baby grounded in mutual sensitivity, love, affection and a strong sense of self-worth all of which follow from knowing your child and its special needs.
A time of-nurturing, love tenderness, joy but alongwith it comes a mixed bag of emotions. Lack of preparedness at a time of increased responsibility and vulnerability, exhausation, feeling, isolated, a struggle to adapt new role expectations, confusion over information resources, conflicting advice, unanswered questions… 
All parents want to raise a happy, successful child, but there is little agreement about how best to reach this goal. Over the years, parents have tried dramatically different recipes. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry herself to sleep, or they have picked her up as soon as she cried; they have stayed home with their child, or they have entrusted her to day care and gone to work; they have taught their baby letters and numbers, or they have left her mind a clean slate for her teachers to write on; they have given their child whatever she wants, or they have made her earn what she gets; they have demanded good grades, or they have let their child find her own level in school.
All of this boils down to-the age-old question: what can parents do that most affects the way their children turn out?
The answer lies in the parent-child connection while the little person is still under construction!
At ‘GyneGuide’ your journey into parenthood will be alleviated by giving you the tools to get connected to your child in the early years.
Becoming a mother is not about what a book advises or what your own mother, aunt, or friend recommends. Becoming a mother is about learning to trust yourself, getting to know your baby and your own needs as a mother, and day by day making the journey through motherhood. The journey is full of complexity and holds many contextual and emotional factors. Considering and preparing for these many facets will allow for a smoother transition that is grounded in self-acceptance of the range of emotions that are felt, the challenges that will be experienced, and the extraordinary rewards that will be gained.
Through the latest research in developmental psychology we help you to build your sensitivity to your child, and your child’s towards you; to know what is age-appropriate behavior; to help your child become comfortably expressive, to handle anger, and to develop self-confidence. And from this basic relationship, loving guidance will flow naturally.
Putting in some extra effort at the beginning will save time and energy later on. Because when the roots are strong the plant blossoms to its fullest!
