Listening Mothers Program Goals
* Through discussions and reflections mothers will gain self-awareness. Mothers who are self-aware are better adjusted, more accepting of self and baby (both the positive and negative aspects), and more flexible. These mothers are also more attuned with their babies needs, as they are better able to separate their own needs from those of their babies.
* Mothers will gain knowledge of their baby’s emotional development. As the mothers get to know her baby and its changing needs, she will be better able to adapt her response to him or her. Better attunement between mothers and baby leads to healthier attachment.
* Since the group doesn’t impose any specific agenda, but encourages mothers through continued self exploration to discover what works best for them and their baby, mothers will come out of the program feeling more confident, competent and empowered as mothers.
* The Listening Mothers group will lay the foundation for secure, healthy, loving relationship between mothers and baby. This is done through the program’s promotion of thoughtfulness, respect, and acceptance and on going learning.
* Babies, who have good relationship with mothers who understand them, will grow up to be secure and well adjusted children and adults.
