Free Baby Fair Focuses on Bonding with Infants and Children
Free baby items, prizes, and giveaways at Project Self-Sufficiency Baby Beginnings Fair this week.
Project Self-Sufficiency will host a special Baby Beginnings event Thursday, September 18th, 1:00 p.m., to help pregnant women and parents of young children to access the resources they need to be successful. The event will feature a presentation about developing healthy bonds with infants and children, along with free baby items, prizes and giveaways. Participants will also learn about free and reduced cost activities for families, early childhood development, positive parenting techniques, nutrition, and other topics related to early childhood health, safety and education. Lunch will be provided. Pregnant women and parents of young children are invited to call 973-940-3500 to register. The Baby Beginnings event is part of a series which supplements Project Self-Sufficiency’s robust programs for pregnant women and parents of young children, including home visitation programs, monthly Mommy Parties, and Parent Cafes.
“We are excited to be offering these innovative and fun gatherings to the community,” explains Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency. “Pregnant women and parents of young children have a great need for accurate information about a host of topics, and these Baby Beginnings Fairs will allow them to receive up-to-date health and wellness advice, as well as free items for baby and family.”
Attendees will learn about the power of positive parenting with a special focus on attachment and bonding, and have the opportunity to participate in a Parent Café to discuss building strong relationships with children.
