Being a parent

Bringing up kids does not come with an instruction manual for all the things you will face.  It is one of the most difficult things you can do as well as one of the most rewarding.  Most people learn how to bring up kids as they go, influenced by the way they were brought up or by what they have read or watched others do.  This section talks about being a parent – a dad, a mum, a teenage parent or a grandparent.

Between the ages of one and three years your toddler's world is growing rapidly.  This is a time of many changes for toddlers.  The most important learning for your children in these years is that they are separate, independent people.  Many of the troubles that some parents experience with their two year olds stem from children struggling with learning to become independent and parents not being quite sure how best to handle these challenges.  This section talks about some of the challenges around feeding, learning to talk, sleep, tantrums, toilet training, the role of stories, living with toddlers and their development.
