Jen LittleJohns | Chorley ¬Hi, I'm Jen, (they/them pronouns) mum of 2 boys who are whirlwinds of energy. I run CalmFamily Bolton and Chorley offering BabyCalm and ToddlerCalm courses and consultations in the local area. I am also a Slingababy trained babywearing consultant and run It's A Sling Thing and the CalmFamily shop. We also offer online courses and workshops in ToddlerCalm and BabyCalm through It's A Sling Thing.
I found that a lot of the common wisdom about routines, and putting my down to settle didn't work well for us, and learned early on that responding to what my baby seemed to need meant a quieter life, yet there was always that voice in my head asking if I was making a rod for my own back. When I discovered CalmFamily and the evidence about baby and toddler brain development that not only supported what I had been instictively doing, affirmed that I was the only expert in my family, and helped me to understand how my children develop and expereince the world, I was blown away and had to be a part of it. I offer a judgment free space to be yourself, to express how you feel, where you will be supported through struggles, and offered tailored information on infant and toddler development. This helps you select the right approach to your situation for your family based on what your baby or toddler is capable of at this point. We have strategies and calming frameworks to help your family find its calm around sleep, feeding, behaviour, and much more, without any need for rigid rules and routines. I look forward to meeting you. Please do get in touch if you have any questions, or would like to request a course, workshop or consultation. jennilittlejohns@calmfamily.org | Phone number | Jenni at It's a Sling Thing on Instagram CalmFamily Bolton and Chorley | It's A Sling Thing |
