Colic & High Need Babies & Toddlers 11/18/15

Screaming & intense crying that isn't easily soothed is stressful and overwhelming.  It's further complicated by a lack of realiable information.

We'll talk about issues and strategies for newborn through toddler ages.  (Specifically toddlers who tend to "melt down" or have difficulty calming down if they have a tantrum)

At this meeting, Beth Salerno and Dr. Sarah Lane will be teaming up to share their knowledge and expertise.  We'll discuss:

*Common causes and triggers (for both babies and toddlers)

*What you can do RIGHT NOW to calm your little one

*Changes you can make to help them have less episodes (or eliminate them altogether!)

As always, our meetings are free.  All are welcome, including babies and children.
