🫶🏻Top Tip Tuesday -Make ‘parent’ friends 🫶🏻
❣️These parents and babies all started off in a ‘Babies Connect’ class at a few weeks /months old! There friendships have blossomed over the years ❣️
You could have this too !
Having children can be isolating amongst many other things ! Who ‘gets it’? Yep, other parents! Especially those that are going through their parenting journey at a similar time to you. After becoming a parent you start to change , maybe the way you view the world , your priorities, your timings of things , where you go , who you spend time with and so forth .
Baby groups help you to build relationships with other parents that ‘get it’ - let’s be honest sometimes you just want to talk about nappies , teething, sickness, sleep, ways to support development, weaning & so forth with others that can relate ! Of course there will be other things to discuss too like ‘me time ‘ , ‘date nights’ and so forth.
At ‘Babies Connect’ classes we’ve had groups of families that have made really good friendships and they’ve been on adult nights out , attended birthday parties together , christenings etc etc 🫶🏻
‘Babies Connect’ classes really encourages making relationships with other parents !
How can we start to build relationships so that the ‘friendship’ start to blossom?
