The New Child Project is for parents who are expecting a birth child or adoptive child or who already have a young baby.

The New Child Project will eventually include three courses:

Choices in Childbirth

Preparing for Childbirth

and

Conversations for Coparents.

Each is a collection of videos and written materials that you can choose to navigate through as you want.

A map of each is being prepared to guide you to the materials you may want to use.

Currently, as of January 2025, Choices in Childbirth is primarily written material.

Preparing for Childbirth includes both written material and videos. More videos by experienced childbirth educators will gradually be added.

Conversations on Coparenting is the furthest developed and the “newest” in terms of material currently available for new couples. It consists of short, interactive videos that will guide you through conversations with your partner as you navigate the many changes that will occur in your live as you become parents, whether you are birth parents, adoptive parents, or co-partners is some alternative arrangement. This course is designed to help you create the best possible home for your child, which is the relationship between the two of you and any others involved in your child’s care.

Courses are free. Voluntary contributions are encouraged so we can support the use of these materials and to help create additional materials.
