Meet your hosts

Michelle Tiflinsky, M.S., OTR/L

Expert host

Michelle has been a pediatric occupational therapist for more than a decade and is the founder of Purposeful Play NYC in New York City. Her two young daughters taught her how challenging it can be to follow occupational therapy best practices at home and to prevent developmental delays, which is why she's so passionate about educating parents on purposeful movement and play.

Anna Jimenez Lyle

Parent host

Anna is a BabyCenter parent contributor and a journalist with more than 10 years of experience. She's also a mom who wondered (and worried) about when her son would start walking. (Was he "behind" or developing normally?) As the parent host of this course, she'll learn about healthy developmental timelines and play ideas alongside you.

Here's what parents are saying

Tracey, mom of 1

"I appreciated the simple activities that I could practice at home without needing complex toys or contraptions."

Ashley, mom of 3

"Even as a mom of three, it's great to hear the most up-to-date information and try new techniques or even old ones that I have long forgotten."

Armando, dad of 1

"The tummy time variations were so helpful. My daughter loved them way more than traditional tummy time!"
