Extensive scientific research has been conducted on this method. Smiling Minds Club previously collaborated with UvA Minds (a former department of the University of Amsterdam) to study its effects in a non-clinical setting. While this research phase has now successfully concluded (meaning participation and the associated discount program are no longer available), the proven benefits remain clear:

• Less Stress: Research shows that parents experience significantly less parenting stress and fewer psychological complaints after the training.
• Kinder to Yourself: Participants become measurably more mindful and respond with greater kindness and self-compassion.
• Benefits for Both: Both parent and child benefit directly from the training; you become more attuned to your baby's signals and enjoy your time together more.

Smiling Minds Club offers the Mindful with your Baby training (0 to 18 months) in both English and Dutch, available online or in Haarlem. Since your baby joins training the sessions, you will practice in real-time how to take good care of yourself, connect with full attention, and stay calm in stressful situations.
