Celebrating children and supporting parents

Are you planning to do something special with your children this Sunday?
Universal Children’s Day was established by the United Nations in 1954. For over 55 years, governments have celebrated Universal Children’s Day on the 20th of November to promote the well-being of children. This date also marks the day on which the United Nations adopted the Declaration on the Rights of the Child (1959) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989)

This is an interesting website to check out: www.babycenter.com
There is information on topics ranging from a week by week pregnancy guide, coping with crying and colic, how to choose child care, support for new mums, and the 7 signs of a bad doctor.

Another useful site is www.jigsaw.org.nz a NZ site that is currently running a campaign about Extra-Ordinary dads to celebrate fathers and the important role that they have in their child's life.
