Dr. Mona Delahooke’s Brain-Body Parenting offers a compassionate, science-informed approach to understanding and supporting children with challenging behaviors.

Here at FRC we’re all about supporting parents during the ups & downs of family life. During our programs we hear parents share a variety of helpful ideas and resources they have discovered as part of their journey and we thought others might benefit from a little peer to peer sharing.

Baby elephants really do suck on their trunks! In fact, they suck their trucks just like baby humans suck their thumbs, and they do it for many of the same reasons.

Thumb sucking is totally normal for babies and toddlers. During pregnancy babies can even be seen on ultrasounds sucking their thumbs.

At Family Resource Center, we regularly read and share books, especially those with helpful tips or ones that get us thinking or make us laugh.

For ages and across cultures, caregivers have been using carriers to carry around their little ones right after birth. This is often called babywearing. It means having your baby safely attached to you with a sling, wrap, or carrying support for different lengths of time. A lot of parents enjoy babywearing because it makes everyday activities like chores, shopping, or walking around easier. Babywearing can calm a fussy baby while also freeing your hands. It is also handy when you are traveling to places where you cannot use a stroller. Parents of twins may also wear their babies with one on each hip or one in front and one in back!
