Growth & Activity

Activity is important for babies and older children. By helping infants, toddlers, young children and older children get active, we help them to learn and grow.

Activity is just as important for your baby or young child as it is for older children - it helps them to learn and grow. Check out some resources to support young children to sit less, move more and sleep well.

Fussy eating is common in tamariki (children), and it's common for them to dislike certain foods. Tamariki will gradually eat and explore new foods as they get older. Providing healthy food and an enjoyable eating environment for your child will help them enjoy mealtimes.
