Being a parent is a universal experience for many people. While each child (and their family) is unique, there are many common themes.

Becoming a new parent can be a highly emotional time, bringing with it an array of feelings including excitement, fatigue, joy, nerves and even fear. It is not uncommon for it to take a while for parents to settle into their new role as there is a lot to learn!  The most important task at this early stage is for parents to spend plenty of time gazing, cuddling and talking to bub so that they can get to know them and form the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Parenting a toddler takes a lot of energy and patience but efforts at this age are not without reward as children grow.

While toddlers and preschoolers need constant supervision, school-age children become gradually ready for more independence.  However, learning to make good choices and exercise self-discipline does not come easily for many.

Adolescence is a time of change for parents and children. Teenagers want more independence and the chance to test out their own values and beliefs. As teenagers choose to spend more time with their friends, parents can worry that they are losing the closeness they enjoyed in earlier years. Parent Line can help parents navigate this confusing and challenging developmental stage.
