Te Kōrero mō ngā Tamariki: Exploring the context of middle childhood in Aotearoa New Zealand
Poipoia te kākano kia puawai – Nurture the seed and it will blossom
NZCCSS is thrilled to release Te Kōrero mō ngā Tamariki – an online resource designed to support understanding of middle childhood (between 5 and 12 years old) in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We know that middle childhood is a crucial stage of development and until now it hasn’t been easy to find up-to-date information specific to this age stage. This guide seeks to change that.
A one-stop shop for parents, caregivers, and kaimahi working with children, it’s full of valuable insights and information relevant right now in our country.
Using Te Whāriki (the woven mat) as a guide and drawing on local and international sources, Te Kōrero mō ngā Tamariki takes a deep dive into middle childhood.
It covers topics such as holistic development, whānau and community dynamics, key relationships, and children’s rights and legislation.
It’s full of easy-to-read information with links to more in-depth knowledge for further exploration. It is designed to be dipped in and out of.
