For Season 2, Episode 3, we were joined again by Darya, one of Ngala’s Registered Psychologists from Season 1. She builds on our earlier conversations about social and emotional development, looking at what this means for babies aged 3-12 months.

In this clip from the episode, Darya and our hosts discuss what the #1 predictor of a resilient child is, and why responsive, “good enough” parenting and those moments of connection matter so much for your baby’s development.

This episode covers Fine Motor Development and all the small but mighty skills your little one is building as they grow, from grasping and pointing to early attempts at feeding themselves. Jen and Hannah also explore early communication and how simple things like repeating your baby’s sounds can help support language development and their first words.

With things getting blowy around the state you might be dealing with some worried or anxious kids. Here's a couple of ways to help them through - and remember, the Ngala Parenting Line will be open from 8am to 8pm every day, so you can always call us for more tips 📱

- Acknowledge their feelings and empathise with them
- Don't avoid it - talk to them in a reassuring way and let them know what to expect
- Remain calm yourself, kids will often mirror your behaviour

There is also a great resource in the comments, providing guidance on how to prepare your child for a cyclone and reassure them💜

For everyone being affected please keep an eye on the Department of Fire and Emergency Services WA page or the Emergency WA app for updates on alerts.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Update! We're in the final couple of weeks of our Residential Parenting Service refurbishment.

We've pulled everything apart, put it back together, and now we're starting to make things look amazing. At this stage we are all on track to welcome back WA families to our purpose-built and amazing looking location in Kensington by Easter.

Amazing work by all our team, especially the agility of Newton Design Studios. Again, a huge thank you to for their generous support with this project. More updates coming soon.

Each month we get around 800 calls to our free Parenting Line and what we're seeing are major mental health concerns from WA parents.

From last financial year we have recorded:
- 47% increase in parents self-reporting experiencing anxiety
- 118% increase in issues relating to child mental health
- 44% of calls involving parental mental health

Thanks to Channel 7 for highlighting these challenges in their report last night. If you are a parent needing support, we're here for you. Our free Parenting Line is available every day of the year between 8am to 8pm and is staffed by experienced, qualified professionals.

Don't wait, call us early and call us often on 9368 9368. We can help - and if we can't, we will put you in touch with people who can.

Thank you to everyone who attended our sold-out International Women's Day breakfast yesterday. What a celebration in honour of the incredible women who shaped our past and inspire our future.

Special thank you's to .siddique for her inspiring words and insights, Aunty Di Ryder for her brilliant Welcome to Country, and Dr. Hoda Hall for sharing her experience using Ngala services.

We also want to acknowledge our event sponsors and thank them for their support - and .australia.

We will continue to proudly champion the vision of supporting women and their families - because when families thrive, communities flourish. Happy International Women's Day!

Following our recent update on the Kensington Facility refurbishment, we’re pleased to share another meaningful update on the project.

As part of the refurbishment, we’ve donated a range of items to organisations making a real difference in our community.

Laptops have been gratefully received by Centre for Accessibility Australia, with their CEO noting they will make a significant difference to the lives of people living with disability.

We’ve also donated furniture to Starting Over Support, which has already gone to assist families in crisis as they rebuild safe and stable homes.

We’re delighted that these items have found new homes where they’re needed most, supporting organisations that create lasting positive change. 💜

In Season 1 of Parenting with Ngala, Child Health Nurse Kate spoke about the fourth trimester, which is the newborn phase of the first three months. She explains how creating a cosy womb-like environment during this period can help with settling your baby to sleep. This can look like:
💜Swaddling or gentle wrapping
💜Skin-to-skin cuddles
💜Rhythmic movement
💜Shushing or white noise
💜Feeding and sucking
