The essential nature of the breathing relationship between sleeping and waking will be addressed. Parents will have an opportunity to share gifts and challenges of sleep in their own lives. Rhythm, routines, and therapeutic activities will also be offered to help everyone at home rest more fully. Please bring a sack lunch.
