Parenting Video Page
Videos on the subject of childbirth and parenting
I am a big believer in visual reference so for this parenting video page I have scanned just a best of selection from the huge number of videos available out there. They are ones that I felt are well worth watching for parents or parents-to-be, either for their information or (in the case of Bill Cosby) their humour
When you click the title, you'll go direct below to see a (free) small screen, click on the icon second from the lower right screen corner to make video full screen size, Hit Esc to return to normal.
This is an old video, very funny and all of the jokes are still scarily current on the subject of parenting, well worth including on the best of - parenting video page.
1. Bill Cosby - Natural Birth 5:58 minutes... very funny
This is the birthing video that I wish I had seen before my first labour, it is possibly what we should all aim for.
A 5 minute video of an easy, calm, natural waterbirth
Because I found this amazing I had to include it on the parents video page. I wouldn't suggest that being able to experience this is a realistic expectation for very many women, but you rarely get what you dont try for...
Video 7:43minutes - Women converting the pain of labour into an intense pleasure (Well you can always hope)
I had no idea or expectation that I would experience a caesarian, but my OR experience was preparation enough, I can imagine that any lay mother would benefit from at least being aware of what happens in a caesarian procedure.
Watch a Caesarian Section - 9:05 minutes
A very helpful instructional video on parenting techniques
Parenting - Introduction to Conscious Discipline - 5:19 mins
Parenting - Awareness 8:19 minutes (Noticing Vs Judging)
Teenagers give many parents a reason to want to run away from home themselves! There are some helpful instructional tips here, something I have only to look forward to in a few more years!
Talking to Your Angry Teen - 2.25 minutes
For several years during my work as a myotherapist, I ran workshops for parents wanting to learn techniques for baby massage. As I didn't have video footage of any of these I sought out one which I thought was helpful and easy for parents to follow at home.
