Children do not develop on their own - they only develop within relationships.

"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

"The thing that impresses me most about North America is the way parents obey their children"    (King Edward VII , 1841-1910)

Parenting style matters - a lot!

FASD

FASD is 100% preventable.

If women did not drink alcohol during pregnancy, there would be no more children born with FASD.

Even drinking on a social basis can have an effect on your unborn child (even a glass of wine with dinner or a can of beer watching TV.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP DRINKING – your child will be better off.

“Many thing we need can wait, the child cannot. Now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, his mind is being developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow, his name is Today. (Gabriela Mistral – Chilean poet)
