Who this lesson is for
This lesson is for whānau supporters. It will build or refresh your knowledge, depending on what you already know.
It offers ideas about how to use your knowledge to talk with whānau and suggestions for resources that you can use to support these conversations. Take your time with it. You may need to learn more and practise, before you feel confident enough to use these ideas with whānau you support.
If this is all new to you, or not part of your personal experience, then you might not be ready to introduce and use the names of te ao Māori concepts just yet. But, you can use your developing understanding of the philosophy behind the concepts in your conversations with whānau.
What you will learn
- Grow your confidence to have conversations about te ao Māori parenting practices and tikanga Māori with whānau.
- Explore resources, information and practical strategies to support whānau to bring te ao Māori practices into their parenting.
