17.01.2022 This week is Child Protection Week! This year National Child Protection Week will celebrate its 30th year with the theme: Putting children first Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children.

For children to thrive we need to come together as a community and put children’s needs first during National Child Protection Week and every week.

08.01.2022 Dental Health for children is really important!! Toddler teeth need cleaning twice a day in the morning and before bed. The best way to brush your child’s teeth... You might like to try the following routine when brushing your child’s teeth: Stand or sit behind your child so that he feels secure. Brushing teeth in front of a mirror is good too, because it lets you see your child’s mouth. Cup your child’s chin in your hands with her head resting against your body. Angle the bristles of the toothbrush towards the gum. Move the brush in gentle circles to clean the outer and inner sides of the teeth and gums. Brush back and forth on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Gently brush your child’s tongue. Encourage your child to brush without swallowing. When your child starts using toothpaste, get him to spit it out. There’s no need to rinse after brushing because the fluoride toothpaste left behind protects your child’s teeth. Tips to make brushing teeth easier Toddlers often don’t like brushing their teeth. But even a quick brush is better than nothing, because it helps your child learn that brushing teeth is a normal part of her daily routine. Children are more likely to go along with cleaning teeth if it’s fun. Here are some ideas: Sing while you’re brushing. You could try ‘This is the way we brush our teeth, brush our teeth, brush our teeth, so early in the morning’. Pretend the toothbrush is a train. You could try saying ‘Toot toot chugga chugga’ as you move the brush around your child’s teeth. Let your child play with his favourite toy while you’re brushing.
