Home Based Early Simulation
Home Based Early Simulation is for infants between ages of 2-3 years. Our School Bridge coordinator conducted these sessions for our cradle mothers. The sessions teach our cradle mothers of how they can help infant development by performing simple home based activities with their babies. These sessions primarily focus on infant physical development (gross motor and fine motor skills), speech and language skills, social bonding, cognitive development and emotional development of infants.
Session On Mental Health
We conducted a session on mental health for mothers at cradle health. First, we started out by asking some questions to understand how women feel after becoming mothers. Many shared the struggles of managing household chores and taking care of the baby at the same time without support from their families. Few of them spoke about how they are always blamed by their family incase of any mishappenings with the baby. We have decided to plan sessions on these aspects and hope to address more issues around mental health of mothers.
