Kids First Huron Perth are featuring local families from Perth and Huron County in their new social media campaign.

PERTH COUNTY  - Families in Perth and Huron County are stars of a new social media campaign put on by the Kids First Huron Perth.

Kids First Huron Perth launched a new video parenting campaign called CALMM, (Calm, Aware, Loving, Moment to Moment) which looks at stressful parenting moments including bedtime and behavior. 

The video series shows parents from Stratford, Goderich, Listowel, Clinton, Mitchell and Vanastra how they parent in four areas: food, sleep, play and relationships.

Public Health Nurse Amanda Kerr-Lange says the goal of the video is to show how local parents can create a less stressful environment at home for themselves and their children.

“CALMM is an approach to parenting based on understanding what children need. Parenting can be exhausting; part of the challenge is that children need freedom to grow but also reassurance that you will be there for them when they need it.” 

All of the individual videos will be on the Perth District Health Unit and Huron County Health Unit Facebook pages until the end of June. 

Kids First recognizes the financial and creative support of the Perth District Health Unit, the Huron County Health Unit, smallTALK and Healthy Kids Huron Perth in the development of this project. The videos were created by Wes MacVicar.
