AUSTRALIAN
PARENTING DVD A WORLD FIRST
Australia
has become the first country in the world to offer all new
parents a comprehensive parenting resource on DVD.
The
Raising Children DVD is the official companion to the Government
supported, national parenting website, raisingchildren.net.au.
Every family in Australia will receive a DVD upon the birth
of their child as part of the Australian Government's new
Parent Pack (distributed by Centrelink, along with the 'Baby
Bonus' application forms).
The
Raising Children DVD is a comprehensive, quality assured
guide to parenting children from birth to five, covering
all the basics about child health, development and care,
as well as information about family management and available
resources.
Based
on the quality assured content from the website and independently
reviewed by a panel of experts, the DVD brings together
reliable and practical information designed to give parents
and carers options about the care and development of their
children, enabling them to make informed decisions. It acts
as a learning and reference tool that also promotes interaction
with health professionals, family and friends.
Professionals
working with parents, carers and children can draw on the
information contained in the DVD and the extensive resources
found at raisingchildren.net.au,
for use in professional practice, or for onward referral.
At raisingchildren.net.au,
you will find research-based articles, printable resources,
referral sources and much more about raising children from
birth to eight, in one user-friendly location. See Parenting
in Pictures as an example. All materials are presented
in a balanced and independent tone.
To view
the website material, or to order your own copy of the DVD,
go to the Raising
Children Website.
For
further information on the Raising Children DVD or website,
please email info@raisingchildren.net.au
The
Raising Children DVD is also available for loan from the
AWCH Library. For details visit www.awch.org.au/Raising_children.htm
A presentation
about the DVD will be made at our 2008 conference in November.
