Why Should Parents Participate in HANDS?
Pregnancy and parenthood can be overwhelming experiences, which come with worries, questions, and stress.
During pregnancy a parent may wonder:
- "Are the feelings I'm having about my pregnancy typical?"
- "What physical changes and discomforts can be expected during pregnancy?"
- "What should I know before delivery and before bringing my baby home?"
- "How do I prepare my other child/children for the addition of a new sibling?"
After the child arrives questions may include:
- "How do I know what my baby needs when he or she cries?"
- "When should my child begin walking and talking?"
- "What is appropriate discipline?"
- "How do I balance everyone's needs in my family?"
