Sometimes parents feel frustrated by their children's behaviour and do not know what to do. All children need guidance to help them learn self-control.

Children need safe, stable and nurturing relationships with their parents.
This pamphlet provides some tips to help parents guide their child's behaviour in a positive way. |

Click to visit link
|
The Family-Centred Maternity and Newborn Care: National Guidelines are intended to assist health care organizations, providers, program planners, policy makers, administrators and families to propose, plan, implement and evaluate maternal and newborn health care policies and practices. They are not considered clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), although CPGs originating from such bodies as The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC), and the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), as well as from the provinces (such as British Columbia’s perinatal guidelines), have been extensively consulted to determine the optimal recommended principles and practices.
