Educational Babytime with Christy Garau: Supporting Cooperation Through Safety & Trust

Babytime is a weekly program designed for babies and their caregivers, offering simple themed activities that support early development – from language and rhythm to movement, coordination, and sensory exploration. Each session blends stories, gentle play, and connection, creating a welcoming space for little ones to learn and grow at their own pace.

This week is Educational Babytime with Rhythm + Regulate expert Christy Garau. Rhythm + Regulate is a trauma informed, relationship based education model designed to strengthen caregiver regulation, and support parent–child connection. The program begins with caregivers and children participating in five monthly Rhythm + Regulate group coaching workshops that uses rhythm, movement, and relational practices to strengthen regulation skills, improve connection, and build confidence in daily caregiving interactions.

Christy brings clinical training, lived parenting experience, and nervous system informed education to support families in building safety, steadiness, and connection under real world conditions.

Session 5: Supporting Cooperation Through Safety and Trust
In the final week, mamas learn how rhythm supports cooperation- not through control, but through safety and trust. When children know what to expect and feel calmer in their bodies, they are more able to listen and work with their caregiver. Mamas leave with simple tools they can keep using long after the program ends.
