This session will provide an overview of First Nation perspectives on child development. It will share information about developmental targets and how parents support reaching these targets. The session will help service providers to develop their skills for working with First Nation families that have young children and to understand Aboriginal perspectives on nurturing the development of children. This workshop is for service providers who work with First Nation families that have young children (e.g., early childhood educators, public health and community health nurses, social service workers, family physicians, health promoters, etc.).
