• The things you do every day can provide the best opportunities for play
• Children like to play near you
• Involve the whole family - a game of hide and seek can be fun for everyone.
• Try having a screen time free day - that means no TV, iPads or iPhones. See what happens!
• Follow your child's lead – let them be the boss! You will be amazed at what they come up with.

• Stand behind them, support their head with one hand and hold the toothbrush with the other.
• Look directly into your child’s mouth or into a mirror to see where to brush.
• Move the toothbrush gently in small circles to clean the front surfaces of your child’s teeth. To reach inner surfaces, tilt the toothbrush.

• Try to say positive things to each other.
• Be kind and apologise if you say something you wish you hadn’t.
• Look after yourself by eating regularly, exercising and getting enough sleep.
• Do something fun with your family - grab an ice cream together after school or go for a bike ride.
• Lead by example - your kids will mirror what you do.

• Avoid being out in the midday sun - and outdoors from 10am-4pm.
• Generously apply sunscreen and reapply throughout the day.
• Cover up - hat, clothing - and seek shade when possible.
• If you do notice a change (in a mole or other lesion on your skin), get it checked out urgently.

Long sunny days, gorgeous outdoor evenings and yep, you guessed what comes next… “Is anyone else being eaten alive?”

• Ensure flyscreens on your children’s bedroom windows are intact.
• Wear long-sleeved clothing if outside in the evening.
• Wear insect repellent - safe for children over 2 months.
• Be careful around pool fences or places where spiders frequent!
