Family Supports Tips for Families Parenting is the biggest challenge you will face. It is okay to ask for help when you need it. To take care of your baby, you need to take care of yourself. Your doctor is a good resource for assistance in finding other people who can help you be the best parent you can be. Your child’s teacher is a good resource for teaching strategies and finding other services and supports for your child and your family. Take the time during the early years to teach and love your child. The more time and energy you put into these years, the less heartache and challenge you will have when they are older. When feeding, diapering, or bathing your baby, spend time singing, cuddling, and talking during these caring routines to support your baby’s development. Children never outgrow their need to be touched gently and often – it helps them feel secure and calm so they continue to learn and grow. Provide a variety of sensory experiences – taste, touch, smell, sight, sound – to help build your baby’s brain. It is never too early to introduce books to your baby. Play is how young children learn best. Children learn from your example. Concerned about your child’s HEARING? Mom holding her baby girl FREE HEARING SCREENING services are available.
