Welcome to Nicola Erasmus.ie

Managing children’s behaviour can seem a Herculean task when they begin to realise how much fun getting into trouble can be! Parents will often yell themselves hoarse or tear their hair right out of their head, without it making one bit of difference. Rather than simply punishing children, which is often as hard on a parent as it is on a child, consider making a behaviour management plan.

 

Who is this website for?

 

This is a website for mothers, fathers, grandparents and anyone else who has responsibility for the care of children. We aim to meet the information needs of a wide range of users: from the curious, to those looking for assistance with particular problems or issues or those wanting to explore the science behind modern thinking on the care of children.

In addition to information support for parents, we aim to be a source of personal support by helping to connect people through our discussion forums. This site provides a way that users can connect with others in their own locations.

This is also a website for the wide range of professionals and agencies who work with parents on the front line every day – general practitioners, child health nurses, child care workers, preschool teachers, school teachers, social workers, psychologists and many more. Professionals can refer parents to the site or download and distribute information from the site to the parents they are working with.
