Macedon Ranges BaBs group Library




Launch of Resource Library is planned for Monday 9th Feb. Thanks to Macedon Ranges Shire Council for funding, we have been able to purchase some books and DVD's for a resource library. We have also been fortunate enough to have several books donated and welcome any resources people have out grown.

The books purchased are highly recommended by BaBs-ies and cover a range of topics promoting informed choices in pregnancy, birthing, motherhood and parenting.

To launch the library, we will review one of our most highly regarded books 'HEART TO HEART PARENTING - Nurturing your child's emotional intelligence from conception to school age' written by Australian father, psychologist and parenting educator Robin Grille(published 2008).

You are the most important person in your child's life.. The better we know ourselves the more effective parents we become.

Written in 6 parts, and not professing to be a how-to book, but based on published scientific evidence and/or clinical experiences the book covers
- Finding your inner wisdom
- When does Connection begin?
- The Baby Connection
- The Toddler Connection
- Talking and Listening so that we can connect
- Parents need nurturing

This book is insightful, yet straightforward. The concepts are applicable to all stages of parenting including reflecting on how we were parented.

The BaBs group meets between 9:30-11:30 at Gisborne Community Health Centre at 5 Neal St.
