Love, Talk, Sing, Read, Play

love talk sing coverAs part of a new approach to communicating with parents the Families NSW partners in the Sydney metropolitan area have recently released some new resource for parents.

These booklets provide parents with advice and information on the social and emotional development of their child, and how parents can help nuture this important part of child development.

To coincide with Aboriginal Children's Day and Child Protection Week 2008, Families NSW has also developed radio messages on love and play for Aboriginal mums and dads.
