The MultiCare-Good Samaritan Puyallup Family Center is hosting two free parenting workshops in the Buckley area.

The Happiest Baby on the Block will be offered from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Foothills Elementary School, 10621 234th Ave. E., Buckley.

Participants will learn to soothe a crying baby and how to turn on a baby’s calming reflex. The class is based on Dr. Harvey Karp’s best selling book and participants will receive a DVD and soothing sounds CD.

This class is open to parents who are either expecting a baby or have an infant up to 3 months old.

Transition to Parenthood will be offered from 6 to 8 p.m. March 15, also at Foothills Elementary.

This workshop is centered on healthy communication for couples who are expecting or who are raising an infant or toddler. Childcare will be provided.
