Parenting Lismore’s Way provides parenting resources to strengthen family relationships and parents’ knowledge, skills and confidence about raising their young children (0-5 years).
After consultation with parents and early childhood service providers, the program funding has been spent on:
> this DVD and book collection for Lismore and Goonellabah libraries,
> extra copies of some of these resources for early childhood service providers to keep and use with their families,
> helping some service providers to develop and produce their own resources,
> working with the library to set up a special parenting page on their website - summarising locally-available services and resources and with links to other leading parenting websites.
A great “first stop” for more parenting information and ideas is the Raising Children Network (raisingchildren.net.au) - an easy-to-use website, developed with the help of Australian parents and childcare professionals.
