INFANT, CHILD AND YOUTH HEALTH
At Juno Specialists we offer evidence-based, compassionate support for your baby, child, tween or teenager. We are aware of and respect the inherent capabilities of infants, perceptive nature of young children and budding independence of tweens and teens. We aim to foster their safety and participation.
Children of different ages have varied needs and we are able to meet them on this journey.
Babies require parental support with exploring the world, attachment, feeding (breast, bottle and solids introduction), development and sometimes sleep support.
Toddlers are keen explorers of the world, growing and learning within and outside the home who may need support with growth and wellbeing, nutrition and emotional support.
Children transition to kindergarten and school and deserve caring support for normal developmental changes and unexpected bumps in the road.
Tweens are between childhood and adolescence and require understanding of this unique time where they start to expand independence, thinking and interests.
Teenagers explore the world in greater depth, learn more about themselves, friends and social groups and enter the world of puberty and relationships with greater awareness of societal structures and assertion of self.
We recognise the importance of the parent-child relationship. We consider what is happening uniquely for your child. We also consider wellbeing through the context of your parental and family experience and wellbeing.
