Your reminder as we head into the weekend.

You're everything your child needs. 🧡

Play is how children learn about the world. 💙

Reading, singing, building, pretending, and chatting together all help develop language, problem-solving, confidence, and connection.

The best toy? You. 🧡

Spending just a few minutes of uninterrupted play together each day can make a big difference.

🧡 You can't spoil a baby

Babies cry because it's their way of communicating.

Responding with cuddles, comfort, and reassurance helps your baby feel safe and secure while building a strong attachment.

You're not creating bad habits, you're building trust. 💙

🖤💛❤️ As our NAIDOC Week series comes to a close, we will continue to celebrate the strength, love and resilience of Aboriginal mothers.

Lesley shares how her mother's teachings, and the teachings of the mothers who came before her, were the ultimate guide through her parenting journey.

Throughout the week, we've been privileged to share stories of motherhood, culture, connection and courage. Each story is unique, but together they remind us that seeking support, leaning on community and sharing our experiences helps strengthen families for generations to come.

Thank you to the incredible women who generously shared their stories and trusted us to help amplify their voices.

As we celebrate 50 Years of Deadly, we honour the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities.
🖤💛❤️

🖤💛❤️ Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is ask for help.

In this story Latoya shares her experience of losing some of her village in a cross country move. Through her strength, she reached out for help and created a village to guide and support her through her parenting journey.

Every family's journey is unique, but no parent should feel they have to have all the answers.

By sharing their experiences, these incredible mothers are helping create a future where more families feel confident to reach out, connect and know they're not alone.
