Glitter Hour

We are back from winter school holidays and wanted to do a deep dive on ideas to implement Occupational Therapy into everyone's lives. If you've got a little brother or sister who is starting school soon (or maybe you are!) follow some of our ideas to build up strength in little hands so everyone can hold a pencil properly and be ready to hit the books when the bell rings! 

A special thank you to those who wrote in to show support for our last episode on celebrating differences in everyone. We all know it takes a village to raise a child and we're so pleased that you all are in our village!  

Mia covers a deep topic today as she discusses the importance of recognising and celebrating differences in others. Mia has a lot of experience with this and her little brother, Mason, is her greatest teacher. Take home message - treat everyone with love and respect because that it how you want to be treated. 

Back by popular demand - Ted & Ginty join Mia today to talk about their favourite sport. Skateboarding! They walk us through their journey from scooters to the skateparks. If anyone is feeling brave enough to make the jump from scooter to board, this is a must listen episode!

Mia went on an exciting Whale Watching trip and brought back some interesting facts to share with you! Tune in to hear about her experience and the good news about the Southern Hemisphere Humpback Whale population. 

Mia delves into the details of her weekly Art Class. She tells us about the structure of class, what she's learned and how to bring the joy of art into your home. Be sure to complete her Artist Challenge and submit your artwork to ww.glitterhour.com - we can't wait to see your creativity!

Mia deep dives into her weekly session at TinkerTank where she is doing some serious hands-on learning for robotics, 3D printing, animation and coding. Mia explains each area of her education in detail and you'll be desperate to make your own animated movie or to 3D print a flip phone after listening to her passion for tinkering!

Mia hit a milestone! She's recorded 50 episodes of Glitter Hour. Thank you to all her listeners who have supported her, sent in content suggestions and sent her emails of praise! It has been quite an experience for young Mia. We talk today about her podcast, what she loves about it and what she's learned. Definitely tune in!

We all know it's important to stay fit but what does that really mean? Mia interviews her god-cousin Hannah, who is a rockstar soccer player. Hannah talks about what soccer does for her, physically and socially, and she covers the importance of nutrition and a good night's sleep. Tune in and get motivated to get fit and stay fit!

It's no secret that Mia loves the microphone but she always loves to get another perspective. On this episode, Mia's God-Cousin, Sarah, speaks about her experience with public speaking and how she calms her nerves before a big presentation. A must listen for any kid who is prepping for that speaking event at school!

Mia welcomes a new guest, Jemima, to the show. Jemima just moved to Australia from Hong Kong and she unpacks the differences between the two countries when it comes to school, food and where to play. It's always good to understand and learn about the cultures of others. We hope you enjoy this podcast as much as we did!
