It's coming up to Christmas and a good time to foster an 'attitude of gratitude' with our kids - oh, and it's good for us as adults too! Learn how and why with Melissa and Anna.

"This week, we’re delving into the importance of kids getting outside and playing!

We recognise and discuss how play is one thing we can do to support our tamariki and how it can help to reduce the stress in all of our lives (parents included!). It promotes us to have fun, learn and connect; and it’s fantastic for our health on so many levels. It’s totally aligned with feeling good & functioning well, and it’s said that a good dose of play can help us to laugh! So why wouldn’t we?"

"Kindness is often something we want for our kids, but they're not always displaying it! Today we talk about how we raise kind kids and all the benefits of that.
