Workshop by Emanuela Quagliata, Psy.D. – Child, Adolescent and Family Psychotherapist on Friday January 25th 5P-630P.Â
Being a parent or carer can be stressful, especially when the child you’re responsible for has emotional or behavioural difficulties. Parents can feel ‘stuck’ when they want to help their child but don’t know how to, or feel that whatever they try doesn’t help or even makes things worse. This workshop provides parents and carers with some understanding and guidance about child development. Topics covered will include: the development of verbal language, play and self-esteem; sudden regression, signs of isolation or autistic withdrawal; relationship problems inside and outside the family,
peers and siblings, adolescent development and the long-term effects of early experience.
RSVP to info@101bambino.com
Presentation by Pascale Salomon, M.Ed – International Cousellor, on Saturday January 24th 10A-12P.

How transitions affect the immediate and long term lives of children and adolescents , the importance of understanding the joys and challenges and grief that are a part of moving as well as the need to develop a sense of belonging. Through the understanding of terms such as Third Culture Kids and Cross Culture, we will further understand the cultural iceberg, identity and the importance of the establishment of core relationships with family and friends.

Special Kids of Rome, or SKOR, is a community offering support and resources for children with special needs and learning differences is holding a meeting Sunday, January 26th from 4P-6P. For information on the location please contact specialkidsofrome@gmail.com.
SKOR, is a self-help group that aims to support the families of children with special educational needs and learning differences.
All roads lead to Rome, and the city is home to many international families but it can be hard to track down what kind of support is available, especially if you’ve just arrived. Maybe your child is struggling at school, perhaps you’re wondering if you need a professional assessment. Or you could be coming to terms with a new diagnosis.
SKOR is a group of parents who get together for a cup of tea or a glass of wine, to share our experiences of living in Rome and to lend a sympathetic ear. We help put parents in touch with English-speaking teachers, tutors, health professionals and, most of all, with other families, because we believe that we can share with — and learn from — each other.

Prenatal yoga has numerous benefits. It can relieve many of the aches and issues that normally occur during this time, as well as providing greater ease in the delivery.
Emotions and stress influence the baby and the mother. Now is the time to slow down and tune inward to you and your growing baby. Your body will be going through a lot of changes, and we will prepare the body and mind for what is to come by for instance:
·       work on body awareness to protect the back as weight and hormones changes your body, your balance etc.
·       increasing strength in legs and upper body to carry the increasing weight to come
·       learn about and practice breathing in a way that will help you in the delivery process
·       learn about the pelvic floor, perennial muscles, and the deeper pelvic muscles – the importance of training these in order to be able to participate more consciously in the birthing process, and to recover faster after delivery. Some of the more specific benefits from this are: to avoid urinary incontinence for as long as possible, to avoid vaginal and uterine prolapse or perennial tear etc.
We will also have lot of time in nice relaxing postures that relieve tension, swellings etc. The way yoga combines breath, movement and awareness is ideal to prepare for the birthing process over time.
Independent on how far you have come in your pregnancy Maria will give you the adaptations you need, so all stages are welcome.
Feel free to contact Maria if you have any questions or to reserve a space at mariawaagyoga@gmail.com or via Whatsapp at +39 375 532 7823.
You are welcome to join us,
See you on the mat!
