Your child’s behaviour and learning

As your child grows, there’s resources you can use to support their learning and manage behaviour.

Managing your child’s behaviour

There are many different behaviour management strategies you can use with your child. You might want:

  • your child to cooperate more
  • advice to help your child calm down 
  • to learn about parenting strategies.

Find out more about behaviour management tips and tools on the Raising Children website. 

You can also find out about positive relationships for parents and children on the Raising Children website.

Supporting your child’s learning

Supporting your child’s learning can help them get the most out of their education.

You can support their learning by:

  • encouraging them to do their homework
  • making sure your child attends school
  • having a strong relationship with your child’s school
  • helping them with their literacy and numeracy at home.
