Following some recent discussions with families at East Sale Kindergarten, I thought I would include a link to some Parenting Fact Sheets that some families may find useful!
These fact sheets have been compiled & shared on the Early Life Foundations website that was founded by Kathy Walker:
"The Early Life Foundations team includes many experienced professionals and consultants with particular expertise in early childhood development, parenting & education. Our team reflects a range of expertise & experience and provides a range of services to parents, educators, government, corporate bodies & organisations. Under the direction of Founding Director Kathy Walker, the consultancy has developed a national reputation of providing high quality support & guidance to organisations, schools & families across Australia"
Topics covered in the Parenting Fact Sheets include:
- How To Help Your Child Make Appropriate Choices Throughout Their Life: Promoting intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation
- What's The Hurry? Slow Down For Childhood!
- When Can A Child Be Left At Home Alone?
- Understanding Personalised Learning In Primary School

- Raising Girls
- Encouraging Our Children: Not just praising all the time!
- Parenting Boys

That is certainly one very extensive list that covers a wide range of Parenting topics. I hope you find something there of use. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss anything in in further detail or maybe how this may relate to your child, please don't hesitate to let me know!
If you do find these Parenting Fact Sheets useful, you may be interested to learn that Kathy Walker has a book titled Parenting that you can actually buy from her website OR that you can download for half the price on iTunes AND on the website, you will find links to a range of Video material that you might find useful too!
