PARENTING RESOURCES
As you know, being a parent is a full time job. And not just any job; you are the project manager of the healthy growth and development of your children.
This is the most important job we as parents will ever have.
Take a look at some the tasks you have to accomplish in your job as a parent:
Ensuring the physical well being of your child
- Taking your child to well child check-ups
- Taking your child for care during illness
- Providing nutritious foods for healthy growth
- Providing physical activity for healthy growth
Ensuring the educational well being of your child
- Participating with your child in age appropriate activities to help with brain development particularly in the early years from birth to age 5
- Providing a variety of activities to stimulate academic and creative development
- Developing positive relationships with other adults who interact with your child such as day care providers and teachers.
Ensuring the emotional well being of your child

As a rule, we get training to be successful in the workplace but we do not always get training to be good parents. Some of it comes naturally, but sometimes we need extra help as we tackle all of our work and family life issues.
Luckily, Shasta County has many excellent resources for families and an agency that can help you find exactly what you need to become the loving, supportive parent you want to be.
Children First Parent Partner Program provides parenting support, mentoring, and is your doorway to positive parenting resources that your family might need.
Support is a phone call away at 242-2020.
