What’s going on for pēpi
Learning and sharing about where pēpi is up to in their development.
Learning goals
- Understand how children grow and develop.
- Enjoy children’s development and have realistic expectations of them.
- Know to observe and follow babies' cues.
Look at what might happen next
Use the Tākai Whakatipu booklets that cover the ages of participants’ children or the Ara Mātua Parenting Pathways.
Ask whānau to look at the ‘Whānau say’ sections in the Tākai Whakatipu booklets related to pēpi’s stage, or at the relevant Ara Mātua Parenting Pathway resource.
Here are some related questions and activities to encourage them:
- Would you like to check off the things you’re doing with your pēpi?
- Would you like to look for some new ideas to try with pēpi?
- Are there things you’re looking forward to your pēpi learning to do?
- What are you expecting to happen next? If you’re not sure, why not look ahead to the next stage?
