Skill Building

Being a parent is both a joy and a challenge. It requires different skills:

Caring for the physical needs of the baby (feeding, bathing, developing a sleep pattern, playing, medical services, immunizations, comforting a child who is tired or cranky).
Developing a budget to meet the needs of your family (finding out what resources are available to help, how you can get support from the father, and what assistance you’re entitled to).
Learning healthy child development and encouraging new skills through play and reading.
Being an advocate for your child (who to call when there’s a problem and where to go for help).
Making sure to take care of yourself so you can take care of your baby.
And lots of others.
