NATIONAL FAMILIES WEEK

Top 5 Essential Resources for Parents

There’s no doubt about it – parenting is a difficult and often thankless task that we seem to work tirelessly for. 

There are new daily challenges as we aim to raise our children into mature young people. On any given day we may jump from trying to engage our kids in dinner table conversation (while you ask them to put their phones away) or chasing them up to do the simple household chores (that always seem to get forgotten). The joys and challenges of parenting are endless.

As part of celebrating National Families Week, Focus on the Family Australia is upskilling your family with downloadable resources to address the top five issues in 2024.

  • Avoiding Chore Wars
  • 50 Questions to Ask Your Kids at the Dinner Table
  • Talking to your Kids about Depression & Anxiety
  • 5 tips for keeping your kid’s phone time under control
  • Talking to your Kids about Sex

 

Focus on the Family Australia has been strengthening marriages and families for more than 30 years.  We provide a wealth of resources, events and support programs to help families nationwide.
