15 Parent Tips

The Best Start Resource Centre has developed 15 Parent Tips to complement its http://www.HealthyBabyHealthyBrain.ca website. These tips provide parents and future parents some practical suggestions to support their baby’s brain development. The tips are available in French and English.

They can be used in different manners:
• Send the tips via Twitter.
• Promote the tips through your Facebook pages.
• Create links from your website to the tips.
• Print the files and use them as handouts.
• Use the text contained in the files in your newsletters to parents.

The messages have been organized in the following three main categories:
• Preconception Health
• Prenatal Health
• Child Health (0-3)

The messages can be accessed in PDF format on the Best Start Resource Centre website at: http://www.beststart.org/resources/hlthy_chld_dev/tips_brain_dev. Please refer to the instructions prior disseminating these, especially if using social media. In all cases, we encourage service providers to link directly to this URL as opposed to transferring the PDFs on their website. Over time, this will prevent use of outdated versions of the key messages.

Since this is a new type of resource for us (i.e., for dissemination through social media), your feedback is appreciated.
