Parenting doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be good enough.

When Dent first opened the Good Enough Parenting cards, she said they "made my heart sing" because they share the same message she has spent years telling parents: there is no such thing as perfect parenting, we're all doing the best we can.

Created by The Journey Project, these evidence-informed cards offer simple prompts, reflections and practical ideas to help build connection, communication and emotional safety with the children in your life. They're designed for real families, real challenges and real-life parenting.

Whether you need a reminder to pause, reconnect, repair after a tough moment, or simply be kinder to yourself, there's a card for that.

Ready to add a little reassurance to your parenting toolkit?

It was another incredible day of community, compassion and connection last Thursday. 💙

Together with 19 amazing community organisations, Little Things for Tiny Tots distributed essential baby items to more than 160 WA families across Metro Perth.

From nappies and clothing to books, toys and everyday essentials, every item shared represents comfort, dignity and hope for families facing incredibly challenging circumstances.

This is why we do what we do — ensuring every baby has access to the essentials they need and every family knows they are not alone.

We are so grateful to work alongside organisations that share our commitment to supporting vulnerable families. By working together, we're creating lasting impact for children across Western Australia.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners:

Last week HIPPY Australia and Brotherhood of St. Laurence hosted an online panel for National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day.

Guided by this year’s theme, , the panel explored the important role families, communities, and organisations play in raising strong, confident, and proud children.

Hosted by Thomas Harrison, a proud Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Wurrung man and Site Advisor for the First Nations Network at HIPPY Australia, the conversation explored the importance of truth-telling and how stories, knowledge and experiences are passed on to children to strengthen identity, belonging and cultural pride.

A big thank you to Nola Earnshaw, a proud Wardandi Ballardong Noongar woman and the HIPPY Gosnells Coordinator at Communicare, and Jenna Ahmat, a proud Bangerang and Badu Islander woman and Manager of First Nations Strategy and Outcomes at BSL, for sharing your knowledge and reflections with us.

Creativity, connection and learning came together at our recent HIPPY Armadale gathering, where families enjoyed a range of fun, hands-on activities designed to support children's development and build community connections.

A special thank you to@bunnings Armadale, who joined us to help families create their own Frog Hotels, encouraging creativity while learning about the environment.

Children also enjoyed making colourful stained-glass suncatchers, exploring imaginative play, building towers, navigating obstacle courses, riding bikes and participating in story time. Through play, children developed important skills including creativity, coordination, problem-solving, communication and confidence.

The gathering provided a wonderful opportunity for families to connect, learn and have fun together.

Australia (Home Interaction Program for Parents and Youngsters) supports parents and carers to become their child's first teacher, helping children build the skills and confidence they need for a successful start to school. Through weekly activities and group gatherings, families learn, play and grow together.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day is a time to celebrate culture, identity and the importance of passing knowledge between generations.

Parents in our HIPPY Australia program had the opportunity to learn from Aunty Lois May today, who shared stories of family, culture and songlines. Parents were encouraged to explore and celebrate their own histories through the creation of personal songlines, while gaining a greater understanding of Noongar symbols and storytelling.

Aunty Lois also warmly shared her poem from the recently published book, “World within a World; First Nations Women Share Their Stories”

A heartfelt thank you to Aunty Lois for sharing her wisdom and her personal experiences with our families.
