+FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE HAVING THEIR FIRST-BORN, WE HAVE PREPARED A DETAILED RUN-DOWN OF KNOWLEDGE ON PREGNANCY, PRE-NATAL AND POST-NATAL CARE, HE ADDED.
TURNING TO BEHAVIORAL GUIDANCE, THE TOPIC WHICH MOST PARENTS FIND DIFFICULT TO MASTER, MR. IU SAID THAT FAMILY LIFE EDUCATORS HAVE CONDENSED 13 KEY CHILD-REARING PRINCIPLES INTO A RHYMING LIMERICK TO SERVE AS A CONSTANT REMINDER FOR PARENTS.
+FLEXIBLE APPLICATION OF THESE RULES WOULD HELP CREATE A FAVOURABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE POTENTIAL OF INDIVIDUAL CHILD AS WELL AS FACILITATE THE EARLY DETECTION AND CORRECTION OF BAD HABITS, HE SAID.
IN ADDITION, HE SAID, CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT STAGES OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT, GENERALLY CLASSIFIED AS INFANCY, PLAY AGE, SCHOOL AGE, ADOLESCENCE AND YOUNG ADULTHOOD ARE HIGHLIGHTED SO THAT PARENTS ARE BETTER EQUIPPED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A DEVELOPING CHILD.
+OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN, SUCH AS NUTRITION, RECREATIONAL PURSUITS, AND HOME SAFETY ARE ALSO BROUGHT OUT, HE ADDED.
APART FROM THESE EXHIBITS, EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE MATERIALS LIKE TOYS AND BOOKS WILL BE ON DISPLAY. FILM SHOWS. SLIDE SHOWS, DEMONSTRATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION SESSIONS ON BABY CARE WILL ALSO BE HELD AT REGULAR INTERVALS.
