Parenting Resources

Parenting is the most important job many of us have, it is filled with great joys and great challenges.

At our office, we frequently have calls from parents and caregivers asking for information and assistance on a number of issues.

Below, you will find some of the answers to your questions, but it is by no means an exhaustive list of resources. We encourage you to review those resources.

Feel free to call our office if you can’t find what you’re looking for, and one of our staff will help you find the answers to your questions.

If you have other issues you would like information about, please contact us.

Safe Sleeping

Every baby deserves a safe place to sleep. Current evidence shows that factors associated with unsafe sleeping environments include infants sharing a sleeping surface with an adult or another child, and the presence of soft bedding.

We need to ensure that when all children in our community are put to bed at night, they are not at risk.

Parenting Programs

Triple P is a parenting program, but it doesn’t tell you how to be a parent. It’s more like a toolbox of ideas. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It’s all about making Triple P work for you.
