Raising Children |
The Raising Children website recognises the benefit that free and open discussion brings to the parenting experience.
Children are as individual and as different as their parents. Making decisions about whats best for raising children is intensely personal. There are some useful universal principles for everyone, but the right solution frequently changes from situation to situation.
We see our role as providing information that can help parents with the day-to-day decisions of raising children, and looking after their own needs.
Who this site is for:
This is a website for Australian mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone else who has responsibility for the care of children. We aim to meet the information needs of a wide range of users, from the just curious to those looking for assistance with particular problems or issues, or those wanting to explore the science behind modern thinking on the care of children.
In addition to information support for parents, we aim to be a source of personal support by helping to connect people through our discussion forums. The groundbreaking My Neighbourhood feature on this site provides a way that users can connect with others in their own locations.
This is also a website for the wide range of professionals and agencies who work with parents on the front line every day - general practitioners, maternal and child health nurses, child care workers, preschool teachers, school teachers, social workers, psychologists and so on. Professionals can refer parents to the site, or download and distribute information from the site to the parents they are working with.
