Offer Guidance: Provide advice on child development, nutrition, and safety. Identify Resources: Connect families with community programs, parenting classes, and _support groups_. Monitor Development: Regular check-ups to track a child's growth and development, offering interventions if needed. Encourage Positive Practices: Reinforce the importance of play, learning, and emotional support.
