Te hono ki to tamaiti hou

Ka hono te hononga ka timata te kaha o te piri o tetahi ki tetahi. Ka nui pea te aroha me te koa ina kite koe i to peepi. Akene he paruru koe mo to peepi.

Koinei te hononga tuatahi ki a koe e ako ana i nga peepi kia tau te pai me te pai mo ratou ano ki etahi atu taangata. Ka ako ratau ki te whakawhirinaki ki a koe na te mea e mohio ana raatau e aro atu ana koe ki a raatau me te manaaki ia ratou. Ko nga peepi e hono kaha ana ki o raatau maatua ka kaha ki te whakawhirinaki ki etahi atu ka whai hononga pai hei pakeke.

Ka hono pea koe me to peepi i roto i etahi meneti, neke atu i etahi ra, etahi wiki ranei. Ka roa ake te hono hononga mena e hiahia ana to peepi ki te tiaki hauora i te wa o te whanautanga, ki te tango ranei koe i to peepi. Kia mohio ka taea e koe te hono me to peepi whaimana me nga hononga o nga maatua whanau me a raatau tamariki.

KAUA e awangawanga, kaua hoki e whai hara mena ka roa atu te waa i te mea i tumanakohia e koe kia piri ake to hononga ki to peepi Ehara tenei i te kii he matua kino koe. I a koe e tiaki ana i nga matea nui o to peepi, ka puta te hononga.

Mena he pai te haere o te whanautanga, ka tupato pea to peepi i to whanautanga. Whakamahia tenei wa ki te pupuri ka tirotiro ki to peepi. He waimarie pai tenei ki te hono. Ka kitea etahi atu waa hono ina:

• Whai whangai. Mena i whiriwhiria e koe te whangai, ka piri to peepi ki to haunga ka pa atu i nga wa e whangai ana koe.
• Whangai Pounamu.I nga wa e whangai ana i te pounamu, ka maarama ano to peepi ki to haunga me to pa.
• Kia mau ki to peepi, ina koa te kiri ki te kiri ka taea ana e koe.
• Whakatairihia to kanohi ki to peepi.
• Whakautua to peepi ina tangi ana ia. Kei te awangawanga etahi taangata mo te pahua i te peepi. Engari kaore e raweke to peepi i to peepi.
• Taakaro me to peepi.
• Korero, panuihia, waiata mo to peepi. Ma tenei e mohio ai ia ki te tangi o to reo.

Ka hoki ana koe ki to kaainga hou, ko taau mahi ko te manaaki i to peepi me to hononga. He maamaa ake tenei mena kei te awhina koe i te kaainga. Ka tino hoha koe i nga kawenga hou katoa ka whanau mai he peepi hou. Tukuna nga hoa me te whanau ki te mahi i nga mahi oona, penei i te horoi horoi, te hoko kai, me te tunu kai.

Ka raru pea te hono o to tamaiti me to:

• He roa te uaua ranei o te whanautanga
• Ite ngenge
• Ka wheako i te rere o te wairua, ka whakarerekehia ranei nga homoni
• Te mamae i te pouri o muri
• Me whanau he peepi e hiahia ana ki te tiaki hauora motuhake

Ano hoki, ehara tenei i te kii he matua kino koe, kaore ranei koe e here. Akene me nui ake te wa me te whakapau kaha.

I muri i etahi wiki mo te atawhai i to tamaiti hou, ki te kore koe e pai ki te hono, ki te wehe ranei koe i te pukuriri ki to peepi, korero atu ki tetahi kaiwhakarato hauora. Mena he porearea koe i te wa e whanau ana, kia mohio wawe koe ki te tiki awhina ngaio mo koe.
