Video - Parent

Description

"Medically endorsed, the Gentle Touch® Infant Massage Video shows parents demonstrating several progressive routines. Medical, therapeutic, and developmental specialists explain the benefits of this unique approach. The focus is on communicating with, nurturing, and soothing the baby. Parents can contribute to the healthy physical and emotional development of their child, provide more nurturing parenting, and strengthen their parent-child relationship. Special issues of parents and babies are covered. The video demonstrates several massage routines, and the benefits of appropriate touch and massage for parent and child are discussed. Gentle Touch also focuses on parent-child communication as parents show respect, ask permission to touch, and learn how to sensitively respond to non-verbal cues. Special populations (i.e. new parents, babies with special needs, pre-term babies) are also discussed." -Child Development Media, Inc.
