- Apps to support parents and whānau in raising children.
Being a parent is one of the most important things we ever do. Helping guide your children to become healthy, happy, responsible and caring adults takes effort and focus. There will be times where you need support.
Parenting apps can help to support parents and whānau to gain insights into child development and parenting skills through different stages of their child’s growth. These apps usually include a variety of resources such as articles, videos, forums, milestone trackers, and practical tips on topics ranging from managing tantrums to supporting teen mental health.

Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.
- An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
- If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.

- It's important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your healthcare provider's advice.
