Being a parent is one of the most rewarding jobs you’ll ever do.
Children don’t come with a “how to” manual and it can be tough at times. Learn about how you can cope during stressful times. It doesn’t matter how old your child is, you can:
- Give your child love and attention every day
- Comfort your child when they are upset, sick or hurt
- Play or read with your child everyday
- Understand your child’s temperament and what they can do for their age
- Praise and encourage your child
- Make sure you all get enough sleep and eat nutritious food
- Be a good role model – children learn from what they see and hear
- Have a routine for play time, meals and bedtime
