A TRADITIONAL MAORI APPROACH TO CHILD REARING
Traditional Māori approaches to child rearing are steeped in collective responsibility, rather than conventionally promoted individual approaches.
Associate Professor Leonie Pihama, Dr Naomi Simmonds and Dr Waikaremoana Waitoki at the University of Waikato have been awarded $350,000 funding for A Better Start National Science Challenge in conjunction with Curekids to further investigate the place of mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledges) as a practice to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young Māori.
Dr Pihama says to improve outcomes for tamariki Māori, it is critical traditional approaches to Māori health are revived.
