April 16- Healthy Family
– Happy Family Time:
11:00-12:00 pm Dr. Anna Bushmina, HD (M.D.
Europe) will be touching on a variety of topics; Why it is so critical for baby’s health to sleep well and enough, when
to start scheduled naps, how to make sure you baby sleeps through the night. Toys, stimulation and media – learn how
it affects your child. Learn what choices you have in the immunization process and how homeopathy can support your decision.
Also putting together a medicine chest to meet your family's basic wellness needs will be discussed. Bring your questions.
April 23-Gentle Parenting Time 11-12:00pm Gentle discipline means, quite simply,
placing empathy and respect at the very centre of your parenting. Teaching a toddler not to slap a playmate, and helping a
child to understand that crayons aren't permitted on the wallpaper are much more difficult than we first anticipated.
This informative and interactive discussion will discuss strategies, evidence and explore thoughts about Gentle Discipline
or otherwise known as Gentle Guidance. Facilitated by Denise Martin Childbirth Educator, CD (Dona), CLE (CAPPA), LLLC Leader.

We are excited to welcome back Meredith Deasley, B.A., R.H.N., R.N.C.P., and Registered Pediatric Nutritionist. Meredith
increases awareness of food sensitivities and allergies, explains which foods are the biggest culprits and why and describes
various alternative therapies for keeping children the healthiest possible i.e. food, chiropractic, homeopathy. *We
invite you to join us after class when Meredith Deasley will be available for a book signing on her breakout book "The
