Kids (Ages 5-8): Information Hub
Welcome to Parentline’s Kids (5 to 8 years) information hub.
These early school years bring new challenges and exciting growth. You can find support on managing behaviour,
building confidence, coping with worries or changes and encouraging social skills and friendships.
If you need a safe, understanding space to talk things through, our trained counsellors are here
via phone or WebChat.
You might also find comfort connecting with other parents in My Circle for Parents.
