National Well Child Day 2012


Tamariki Ora services celebrated the National Well Child Day 8th March 2012, by providing health education, promotion, resources and whanau support.

This year’s focus was on the Well Child/Tamariki Ora schedule six week check which looks at different aspects for baby from breastfeeding, immunizations, car restraints including talking and singing to baby.  One aspect in particular was demonstrated by Te Kupenga Hauora around the importance of child car restraints.  Families were shown how to install their child restraints correctly and able to discuss child safety.

In support of our day we acknowledge Family Planning, Heinz’s Watties NZ, Te Kupenga Hauora, Maketu Kohanga Reo and our community whanau.
