About the Parent-Child Mother Goose program

Parent-Child Mother Goose Australia participants

There is nothing more important than the attachment between parent and child. The Parent-Child Mother Goose Program builds on this essential relationship and gives parents the tools that make daily life with a young child more fulfilling.

Each group meets with two facilitators once a week throughout the year. Together, parents and children in the program:

experience the spark of delight and magic that comes from enjoying a favourite song or rhyme
learn and retain a repertoire or rhymes, songs and stories
enjoy strengthened bonding.

These skills, pleasures and insights are then taken home and shared between parent and child through daily activities. The songs and rhymes can also be shared with partners, older children, grandparents and friends.

This all sounds very simple... and, frankly, it is! But as Warren Cann, CEO of the Parenting Research Centre explains, such simple pleasures can be highly significant.
