Cuddle Cure for Crying Babies Classes

The Cuddle Cure is a two-hour class which teaches 5 techniques, or 5 S's, for calming a

fussy newborn. It is highly recommended for pregnant women, couples, grandparents,

infants, birth to 3 months of age.

Participants receive a Parent Kit (a baby bag with a swaddling blanket, The Happiest

Baby on the Block DVD and a soothing sounds CD). View Dr. Karp and the five S's in action.

Is your child ready to be left Home Alone

or become a Baby Sitter?

There are many variables to consider besides age before leaving your child home alone

or allowing him/her to become a baby sitter. By answering the following questions, you

can determine rather quickly if your child is truly ready:

• How responsible is your child?

• How mature is your child?

• How would your child act in an emergency?

• How does your child answer the phone or door bell?

• Does your child adhere to the boundaries and limits you set in your home?
