Parent Wellness

Parent Wellness Book 1
Wellness refers to having a healthy and fulfilling life. We all wish for such a life and although not everything is in our control, we can make certain choices and decisions that can promote a healthy, fulfilling and happy life.

Parent Wellness Book 2
When you take care of yourself, you can be a better parent. Being a good parent is so important as you are setting your child up to succeed in life. The relationship you have with your child is the first and most important connection in their life. They look up to you and you model how to deal with life.

Parent Wellness Book 3
Happiness is when life is good, and you cannot help but smile – you feel joy, pride, excitement, relief, satisfaction and love. Happiness means something different for every person. Happiness is not always guaranteed but you have the power to take control of your happiness by choosing your thoughts, behaviours and actions.
Stimulation Ideas (0-5 Year Old)

Let’s Recycle Book 1
This book gives you many different ideas of how you can use household items and play to help your child to learn and develop according to the standards of the NCF.

Let’s Recycle Book 2
The NCF also identifies six Early Learning Developmental Areas (ELDAs), which are specific areas of development. Each ELDA has aims that should be used as guidelines when planning activities according to the children’s age and stage of development.

Let’s Recycle Book 3
Children need to have mastered certain skills in their development before going to school so that they can cope. And you as a parent/caregiver can play a big role in this, by giving your child many opportunities to learn and explore at home.

Let’s Recycle Book 4
Each child is unique and special. Each child has different abilities.
Every parent or caregiver should spend time with their child to stimulate and to create opportunities for learning.
Stimulation Ideas (4-5 Years Old)

B4G Activity Book 1
Body awareness involves understanding all body parts, their movements and where they are. This awareness enables us to for example walk without constantly looking at our feet, judge distances accurately to reach objects, and determine the necessary height to lift our leg when stepping on a stair etc.

B4G Activity Book 2
In this booklet we are putting the spotlight on the big muscles, also known as gross motor skills. Gross motor skills involve the coordination of large muscle groups for activities like walking, running, jumping, and climbing. Developing these skills helps children build strength and control over their bodies, laying the foundation for more complex movements later in life.

B4G Activity Book 3
To strengthen your child’s fine motor skills, it is important to practice. Activities like threading beads onto a string, playing with play dough, and using child-safe scissors to cut are excellent for developing fine motor skills. Additionally, activities like drawing, colouring within lines, and building small puzzles can be very beneficial. Encouraging your child to use tweezers to pick up small objects can help them get better at being more precise and have better control with small movements.
