Singing the "Alphabet Song" is a great way to help children learn letter names. 🎶

Letter Knowledge is an early literacy skill. It is recognising and knowing the names and sounds of letters. Singing the "Alphabet Song" and reading alphabet books is a great way to help your child develop this skill.

Bedtime is more than just a routine; it is a chance to connect and build language 🌙

As you get your child ready for bed, try talking them through what is happening: “night night clothes,” “night night lights,” “night night outside.”

Simple, consistent routines can help little ones settle more easily.

The Bright Tomorrows app is built around five everyday skills to support you and your child:

🌱 Attention and focus
🌱 Responding to emotions
🌱 Relationships and communication
🌱 Planning and routines
🌱 Taking on challenges

A moment within “Taking on challenges” is to try a walk and talk with your child. Head outside together and use the time to gently chat about any problems or difficulties they may be experiencing.

There are lots of moments within the app designed to help build resilience, confidence, and connection in everyday life.

Explore the Turn the Page growth program in the app today and discover the benefits of reading aloud with your child. The program includes engaging moments and practical tips designed to support parents.

You can also choose to focus on this program collection for four weeks, set a personalised goal, and receive regular prompts with helpful ideas for you and your child.

Next time you’re cooking with your child, turn it into a little sensory adventure!

Invite them to notice the colours, textures, and smells as they help prepare the food. Keep it low pressure, there’s no need for them to taste or eat anything if they don’t want to. Instead, try gentle prompts like, “What does this feel like?” or “How does this smell?”

These small moments can build curiosity, confidence, and a positive connection with food.

🌱 Parents and caregivers, your voice matters.

As part of our work to develop an Eating Disorder Safe First 2000 Days Implementation Strategy, NEDC is seeking input from families across Australia.

The First 2000 Days from pregnancy to age five is a foundational period for children’s development and for shaping everyday environments around food, bodies, wellbeing and care.

By sharing your experiences, you can help us better understand what supports families well and where challenges remain.

If you are currently expecting or caring for a child aged 0 to 5, we invite you to take part in our short online survey.

Your lived experience will directly contribute to shaping a national and collaborative approach to creating more eating disorder safe environments for children and families.

Today we celebrate all the incredible women who help shape little lives ❤

On International Women's Day, we honour not only mums, but grandmothers, aunties, carers, educators, health professionals, big sisters, and the many women who nurture, guide and inspire our children every day.

For children aged 0–5, these early relationships build the foundation for confidence and wellbeing. The love, patience and strength you show, in big moments and small everyday ones, truly matters.

Here’s to the women who help our little ones grow 🌱

Show your little ones how food comes to life by planting herbs, lettuce or sprouts in small pots or jars. Watch them grow together and invite your child to pick what you need at mealtimes 🥗

Growing food is a fun, hands on way to teach children where fresh ingredients come from. It builds confidence, sparks curiosity and gives them a proud moment when they see something they’ve grown on their plate.
