A practical resource designed to facilitate dialogue between parents, caregivers and professionals who support children’s development during the early years of life.

The kit contains 48 cards using images, words and questions to explore different aspects of child development and care. The situations depicted provide starting points for discussing everyday experiences, sharing different perspectives, recognising existing strengths and identifying possible paths towards change together.

Rather than promoting standardised parenting models, the resource values the unique experiences, culture and perspectives of each family.

Although primarily designed for families with children aged 0–3, the topics explored can also be used with families of children up to the age of 6.
