Quality over quantity

Caring for a child with additional needs can sometimes make it harder for parents to spend one-to-one time with each child. However, just 10 minutes of focused one-on-one time with your child can satisfy their need for attention much more effectively than 30 minutes of divided attention.

Communicating with your newborn

When communicating with your newborn, getting up close helps your baby to watch the movements that you make with your face and connect the different sounds to your facial expressions.

My toddlers favourite word is ‘no’

The ‘no stage’ is an important milestone for toddlers. Providing choices, setting clear boundaries, and trying to remain calm can help you to navigate through this phase.

Little Person, Big changes

Parenthood isn’t about having a spotless house or checking off every to-do list item. New parents, give yourself permission to just focus on being present with your baby, and take everything else one step at a time.

The power of nursery rhymes

As well as being a great way of entertaining and bonding with your baby, nursery rhymes can also support your baby with early literacy, motor skills, memory and sequencing skills.

Having a new-born can be an exciting and fulfilling experience, but it can also be challenging, especially when it comes to sleep. Removing the pressure that comes with expectation and comparison, practicing self-care, and taking things one day at a time can help you both find your own natural rhythm.
