Love Pings - A creative NVR card pack for parents

I have created a pack of 'Love Ping' cards, for parent's to use to support them with the NVR idea of relational gestures. This workshop proposes to be both educational, interactive and fun. I will present the pack, the participants will get to make their own and a discussion regarding application will be facilitated.

These cards will be available to purchase on the day.
