What are you most surprised about in your experience?
We were surprised at how quickly we could learn, remember and apply what we were learning in class. The pace and delivery of the content were just right. Having so many songs really helped us to keep signing between classes. How would you describe my personality or your experience with me as a teacher? Enthusiastic, knowledgeable and knows what to do to ensure that learning is taking place and content is being absorbed. Your use of stories and years of experience made it easy for us to learn from you. What sort of measurable progress did you make over the past 6 weeks? We know tons of signs that we apply all day, everyday! While our daughter is still learning, she likes the additional level of interaction and is curious about what we are doing when we sign to her. What would you say to other people who were considering taking a class but they weren't sold on the online experience? Not having to take a baby anywhere! In our situation, the online class spared us a 30+ minute trip into the city and allowed us to keep our bedtime routine. For busy families, you can’t put a price on this convenience. I didn’t realize that the class was truly for mom and dad to learn, then teach throughout the week. We were more attentive and focused as parent students than if we would have also been supervising an active baby. The video quality was excellent and nothing was compromised in terms of learning the signs via Skype.

I wanted to share a lovely email I received on Friday <3
Hi Melody! I hope you are doing well. I wanted to give you an update on our daughter as I brought her to the class when she was 6-7 months. She started signing milk at 9 months. She is now a year and everyday learning a new sign, she says and does the sign for “up/wanting to be held”, she says and signs more and says and signs all done. She is creative where when she is done with a person or place (like if we are at a mall) she turns and says “all da” and does the sign motion! Haha Thank you for all the great songs and signs. I am excited to see her sign more everyday. It’s super interesting to see that she learns the sign first but within a few days will also say the word with it :) ~AK~ Come take our baby sign classes online!

Empowered Life Counselling is a private practice located in Calgary Alberta. With an expertise in supporting parents for over a decade, my focus is to help moms weed through all the challenges, overwhelm, uncertainty and guilt of motherhood into a more empowered life. Igniting mindful shift is a compassionate and reflective way to navigate this process. When we shift our perspective, we can learn to connect with our inner-wisdom, and we can begin to live a more fulfilled life with a sense of purpose. I offer online counselling sessions for moms and couples that are experiencing challenges with the additional pressure and considerations of parenthood. I also offer educational workshops and classes (both in-person or online) that provide tools to help empower parents on their journey to better relationships with their children and with each other. I am still working on the design and building of my website but if you want to learn more, you can check out my facebook page @empoweredlifecounselling or instagram @empoweredlifecounsellingyyc or feel free to email melody@empoweredlifecounselling.com or call me 403-400-4636 if you have questions or would like to set up a free 20 min consultation. |
