Are you a young parent or about to be one?
The Auckland Women's Centre has produced Are you a young parent or about to become one, a young parent's resource book designed to increase positive outcomes for teenage parents and their children.
It was developed using a participatory and consultative process and covers information about pregnancy, parenting, relationships, accommodation, education, financial assistance and legal issues. The section on parenting is very clear in its message that smacking is not okay and that physical punishment damages children. This is an excellent resource - for information about how to get copies contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
