Talking to children away from TV or screens is vital to their development

“We’re developing three websites, with this first one aimed at supporting parents and carers through the first five years, and to encourage them to look after their own health and wellbeing as well as their children’s.

“This website focuses on support during pregnancy, with tips and advice right though to caring for baby, toddler and pre-school-age children. Our next website will focus on support for parents of primary school and into secondary school-age children. And our third will focus on support for parents and carers of teenagers.”

“This new online resource is an excellent reference guide to support parents and carers, and to complement the team’s work in local communities.”
