Public Health Warwickshire Warwickshire County Council Shire Hall Market Square Warwick CV34 4RL January 2018 NEW FREE ONLINE GUIDES FOR PARENTS Warwickshire Public Health has recently purchased three acclaimed, evidence-based online guides (courses) to help build parental confidence: Understanding Your Child (for parents of 0-18 years olds) Understanding Your Baby (newborn) Understanding Your Pregnancy By the time children reach 14 years of age, 50% of mental health problems are already established, so we know we need to act earlier in Warwickshire to help grow parents’ confidence, understanding and re- sponsiveness to their children. These three guides are designed to support mums, dads and carers in developing positive relationships with their children. In turn, this will help to strengthen emotional resilience and wellbeing, so children are able to bounce back from life’s various challenges. All the resources in the pack are printable and stored on http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/smartstartgetinvolved
