ISR- INFANT SWIMMING RESOURCE

It is our responsibility as parents and caregivers to provide our children with the tools & resources needed to help them grow into happy, functioning adults.

We recently gifted our twin toddlers with survival swim lessons and it was the best decision my husband and I have ever made as parents.

I had heard about ISR: Infant Swimming Resource through clients and other peers, but was always mortified by the videos online. ‘Omg they just throw your baby into a pool and make them figure it out- how traumatizing! ‘ Needless to say, I was intrigued. After reading one positive review after another, with the emphasis on the fact that ISR SAVED their own child’s life, I knew I had to explore it further. I am so grateful I did!

“There are a lot of misconceptions around survival swim lessons. They aren’t aggressive and they won’t scar your child or leave them fearful of the water. Children learn to self-rescue in the event of an emergency but they also learn to respect the water, how to problem solve and most importantly they gain an immense amount of confidence in themselves!” – Miss @alurabuckner.

BRIGHT LITTLES CONVO CARDS

Bright Littles was built when Tara Ballentine realized she didn’t have the age-appropriate tools to navigate challenging conversations with her daughter. From social and racial injustices, to a global pandemic, health, safety and more – it felt impossible for Tara to delicately approach her daughter about topics that seemed so big for her little world. But the truth is, kids are ready to dive into these types of conversations sooner than you think! By creating a fun and engaging way to present these topics, she made learning about the tough stuff easy again!

Tara designed Convo Cards, the perfect way to spark a meaningful conversation with your bright little ones. Whether you’re at the dinner table or on a road trip, each card is designed to start an ongoing conversation that will encourage confidence, kindness, compassion, and more.

EVERY BODY TALK BOOK

With this book as a guide, healthy conversations are easier so they can happen earlier in children’s lives. You are accomplishing a major first step in ensuring child safety – that you and your child can discuss anything of concern when it comes to them and their body

Child protection is a lifelong conversation, and Every Body Talk is only the beginning.

ETTA LOVES PLAY MAT


Keith Haring’s artwork has been expertly scaled and colored by @EttaLoves’ consultant orthoptist specifically to support babies’ visual and cognitive development throughout their first year.

The patterns also encourage your baby to use their back, neck and shoulder muscles (helping them prepare for rolling and crawling) as you’ll notice them trying to push up to make more sense of the print before them.

It comes in their gorgeous box packaging with a band to hold the mat together when rolled up – making it perfect for home and away.

Size: Circular – 39in diameter

Made from: Outer – Organic cotton. Inner: Polyester padding
