新手父母看見自己的寶寶出生，自是欣喜萬分，但其後在育兒方面要面對的種種困難，卻不足為外人道。從嬰兒的身體健康、生理照顧、起居飲食，以至心靈和智力的成長發展需要等，父母都須要費上不少精神、體力和智慧，缺一不可。此外，新手父母還要面對其他種種問題，例如：角色上的轉變、時間及經驗的不足、配偶對自己的關注出現改變、長輩對照顧嬰幼兒有不同看法等。凡此種種，夫妻二人都要花上不少心力和時間去適應，以至在溝通、關愛及家庭和諧方面，容易產生一定的壓力。
家庭議會製作的家庭教育系列之「新手父母家庭篇」，透過九集實況劇，為新手父母提供育兒資訊，協助他們了解和適應新角色，以及鼓勵他們以積極的態度面對孩子誕生為家庭帶來的轉變，從而享受新生命為家庭帶來的歡欣，並樂在其中。
It is with great joy for new parents to see the birth of their babies. However, taking care of a new-born baby may also bring along difficulties, which can hardly be understood by those who are not in the same boat. Looking after health, and daily life as well as psychological and intellectual development needs of a baby demand the indispensable and tremendous efforts, energy and wisdom on the part of parents. In addition, new parents have to face many other problems (e.g. change in roles, insufficient time and experience, the shift in attention from the spouse and the different approach of parenting taken by the older generation). All these require considerable efforts and time for new parents to adapt to.
The family education package for families with new-born babies (the package), through nine episodes, provides parenting information to new parents. The package aims to help new parents understand and adapt themselves to their new roles, and also encourage them to embrace the new challenges, so that the parents will be able to enjoy the happiness brought by the new baby to the family.
