About Children

This section focuses on children

Take a look at About Parents for information for parents.

As a parent, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. You can do many things to give your baby the best possible start in life. From pregnancy and breast feeding to introducing solids and dealing with picky-eating toddlers, proper nutrition is important at all stages. Check out the new Canada's Food Guide to see how your eating habits measure up. And after all that new food, make sure to clean up your baby’s new little teeth! Proper dental care is important to a healthy baby.

Do you ever wonder what your child will be able to do next? Look at his/her developmental milestones at each age so you know what to expect.

As well, find local resources for your child with special needs and information on the current immunization schedule and injury prevention.

Parents have a very important role in a child’s developing body and mind – remember most importantly to play and have fun with your child!
