In the Stage 5 Australian/NSW curriculum, Child Studies explores the broad range of social, environmental, genetic and cultural factors that influence prenatal development and a child’s sense of wellbeing and belonging between 0 and 8 years of age. The Preparing for Parenthood unit within the Child Studies subject has students examining the factors that influence an individual or couple’s decision to become a parent and the planning considerations that may take place. Their knowledge of the physical, social and emotional changes that parents experience during pregnancy is developed, including the skills which enhance their capacity to potentially manage and cope in this role in the future. Students also explore the various parenting styles and the qualities effective parents possess.
