The challenges of parenting are ever-changing, but we have you covered. Our parenting classes will bolster your skills on a range of topics including potty training, positive discipline, baby sign language, welcoming a sibling, Diastasis Recti, Infant and Child CPR and Safety, and sleep training.
We add new workshops often, but if there is something specific you’d like learn about, just ask! Margaret, Leigh, Melissa B., Melissa K., and the rest of the Over The Moon staff strive to support YOU: to make parenting easier, more fun, and less stressful. We are happy to answer all of your questions and can try to add new workshops if you, our beloved customer, want them!

| When unaddressed, picky eating can create major stress within a family. Unfortunately, strategies commonly used to encourage healthy eating such as “no thank you bites” or “dinner before dessert” eventually backfire and have been shown to create pickier eaters! Join this informative discussion to learn an evidence-based approach to raising competent, healthy eaters. You’ll get tips to address common feeding challenges such as food refusals and children’s food demands and walk away with practical action steps to use at home. This workshop, led by Danielle Shea Tan, our functional family nutritionist and founder of Healthy Mamas for Happy Families, is sure to transform your meal times forever!

When it comes to behavior, life with toddlers and preschoolers can often be quite challenging! Do you find yourself wondering how to handle difficult behaviors? Are you wondering what behaviors are age-appropriate and which ones need disciplining? What does ‘discipline’ mean anyway? Are you wondering about ‘time-outs’, how to use them or if they are even effective? What are other discipline and limit-setting options?
Answers to these and many other discipline and challenging behavior-related questions will be answered during this 1.5 hr parent-only workshop.
Recommended for families with children ages 1-5 years.

This workshop makes a great follow-up to our Positive Discipline 101 workshop, but can also be taken on its own. In this “open-discussion” class, we will spend the entire 1.5 hrs addressing families’ unique discipline challenges using problem-solving and research-based strategies. Aside from gaining support for your own family, hearing from other families and discussing together about possible approaches is a wonderful learning tool. Bring your questions and a notebook! This is an intimate group of no more than 6 families.
