Child-Rearing

The birth of a child is a profound experience that marks the beginning of a new journey into parenthood. Regardless of whether this is your first child, or your last of several, childbirth and childrearing represents a time of new challenges, excitement and questions. Red Tent Sisters aims to support each woman in their unique mothering journey through a variety of group and one-on-one programming.

Research continues to demonstrate that teaching sign language to babies can improve vocabulary, reduce frustration between children and their caregivers, and facilitate cognitive development in children. Join us for an 8 week course in which you and your baby will learn the basics of American Sign Language (ASL), including words related to feeding, bedtime, family members, and bathing.
