About the English Online Training Course

The online training programis structured to prepare you to teach the Baby Language to individual mothers or to small groups of parents. It provides the basis for how the system can be best taught and applied; which subtle cues to listen for and how to better respond to an infant’s needs, with consistency, predictability and effectiveness.

Online courses allow you to study the curriculum at your own pace. At over 280 pages,it will give you a thorough understanding of the development and research behind the Dunstan Baby Language. It contains a detailed breakdown of each aspect of the DBL system,with many examples for you to study and analyse the crying videos, take the open book tests (multiple choice, open- ended) and then download the handouts, including class plans and summaries for your reference and use.

Ideally, you should complete the training within 3 months. Most complete the course within 30 days.

During the course, you will be asked to complete various tests and exam questions, relating to the material you have read. Remember, it is an open book test, so you have access to the reference material. You will also be shown audio-visual examples of the various cries, as well as audio examples.

A Dunstan Baby Language instructor’s role is to increase the confidence levels in expectant women and to elevate the sometimes challenges self-esteem in tired new mothers. The biggest difference you can make to the well being of the family unit often starts here.

“I must say your words have made having my third child an absolute pleasure by allowing me not to feel so helpless (even with a windy baby), and I’m enjoying my time with little Ella immensely.” – Marika Fothringham, Australia

By teaching a new parent how to listen in a new way, you are providing a lifelong foundation upon which this most fundamental relationship depends. A Dunstan Baby Language instructor empowers mothers to better care for their baby so that by crying less, settling quicker, both mother and baby can sleep more.

Research shows that when an infant’s needs are met consistently, early attachment is made possible. Furthermore, Dads  can now learn to bond with baby, too. The inclusion of fathers in the nurturing process not only supports the mother but is also a profound shift in the family dynamics.

Scientific research has shown that a closer maternal bond enhances an infant’s emotional, intellectual and psychological development. Fathers can now actively contribute to this important process, with your help and guidance.

Furthermore, it is our view that an understanding of the baby language can assist mothers deal with the conditions that are commonly present in those who experience ‘baby blues’. By promoting a greater sense of confidence, self-esteem and more rest comes from applying Dunstan Baby Language.

And only a trained instructor can truly show a new mother how to tune in to her baby’s natural, daily rhythms, such that a gentle, intuitive routine becomes possible. The Dunstan Baby Language instructor program provides you with the tools to properly deliver this knowledge with confidence.
