Mother's Day and Father's Day Resource

Celebrating Mother's and Father's day?

Mother and Fathers day

 

We know Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are important days to celebrate, but they can be tricky for children from diverse families. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day present some challenges for families that don’t have a mum and a dad. Schools can be supportive of all families by honouring how individual families choose to celebrate the day. Our resource has five simple things that schools and early learning centres can do to include diverse families. The most important thing that schools can do to support families is to ask how individual families would like their child to celebrate the day. If your child’s school doesn’t start this conversation with you it is worth you approaching the school to talk about how you would like the day celebrated for your family.
