Children do not come with instructions or a handbook. ‘Understanding Your Pregnancy’, ‘Understanding Your Baby’ and ‘Understanding Your Child’ are 3 online guides. They have useful hints, tips and support. They go from pregnancy through to children aged 18.
The online guides are accessible at home via a mobile phone, tablet device or laptop. Or you can find them in any adult education centre, library or children’s centre across the city.
Each module only takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete. They can all be completed at your own pace. Once the access code has been used, your login details will not expire. You can access the guides for years to come as your child grows.
