Parent groups

Becoming a new parent and raising children brings great changes to your life. Plunket can help you contact a parent group in your area, where parents/caregivers gather with their children to meet other new parents and share information on parenting.

Parent groups are also a great way to help children interact with each other and begin to develop their social skills.

Other community groups offer an informal opportunity for parents to get together and learn from each other in a fun, relaxed environment.

Local support groups are a great way of making new friends and sharing experiences. Talk to your Plunket nurse about what is available in your local area or find your local Plunket area.
