Inunnguiniq Child Dev’t Pamphlets

Traditional childrearing advice from Elders incorporates the IQ principles and child development guidelines for parents, extended family and teachers. To find the IQ Principles’ pamphlets, click here.

Click on titles “Inuktitut” or “English” versions for the specific age of which you are wanting information, and read on screen or download to your device. It is advisable to read a few age groups below and above your child’s current age, as each child develops and learns in his/her unique way.

This collective work is meant to be shared back to the Inuit community. Produced by the Nunavut Government, Qaujigiartiit Health Research Centre (QHRC), and the Centres of Excellence for Children’s Well-Being.
