We are a government supported website providing information to help parents with the day-to-day decisions of raising children. Children are as individual and as different as their parents. Making decisions about what’s 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. We believe that positive outcomes for children across a range of areas can be achieved when parents have access to information based on the best science in parenting and child health and development. We find and translate this science into everyday language so it can be used by parents. We cater for everybody from casual browsers to those with an urgent problem to solve. This is a website for Australian mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone else who has responsibility for the care of children. 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.
