Welcome!

Welcome to the Bringing Up Great Kids website. It is a resource for all parents with information that can help you to raise happy and confident children.


Being a parent is the most important job you can do. It can last a lifetime. You don’t have to know everything all the time. In fact, children and parents learn from each other. The more we can understand children, the more we can help them grow and develop.

Parenting

Through a child's eyes

Through a child's eyes

Through a child's eyes

'Little kids can make a big difference.'

The more we understand our children the more we can help and support them.

One of the ways we can do this is to think about memories of our own childhood and imagine the world from a child's point of view.

Children

A child's contribution

A child's contribution

As a parent you probably spend much of your time trying to be a good parent, doing whatever you can for your child whilst balancing the needs and demands of a busy life.

Babies

Understanding your baby's communication

Understanding your baby's communication

Bringing home the new baby can be exciting and frightening for both the baby and the parents.
