What do you think is one of the main reasons most kids quit sport? While you're pondering, just absorb this statistic: each year millions upon millions of children register for competitive sports; about 70 per cent of those will quit by age 13.
While you watching your kiddos run around on the footy field or basketball court this morning, before you drive off to another sideline on the other side of the city, do you think your child will be among the 30 per cent who stick at it?
In his debut book, One Chance - Lessons in Sport, Life and Success, former professional tennis player Todd Perry shares compelling insights into the journey that led to his success in the world’s most prestigious tournaments. Drawing on a lifetime’s experience as an elite competitor, coach and educator, he reveals surprising truths about why too many young athletes are withdrawing from sport - and what we can do to prevent it.
Now a tennis coach and educator back home in Adelaide, Perry’s book reveals powerful insights into common misconceptions about success and what it takes to ‘make it’.
In this episode we chat to Todd about kids in sport and some of his sometimes surprising insights like less is more, the importance of mindfulness, and how parents and coaches can work better together for exceptional results.

Epidural. Laughing gas. Morphine. Tens Machine. Acupuncture. Water injection. There's a proverbial smorgasbord of pain management options for pregnant women in the throes of labour, but if you're an expecting parent, how much do you know about each of them?
Every woman will have an idea or a plan on what methods they want to use to get through their birth experience... of course this might all fall by the wayside when you’re actually in the delivery suite but it’s important to be informed and know what your options are. Whether you're aiming for a completely natural birth or want an epidural the moment you step foot in the hospital there’s a whole spectrum of pain relief in between that you probably want to be across so you can go in feeling empowered by understanding the different options available to you.
In this episode we welcome Professor Stephen Tong, leading academic Obstetrician and author of THE BIRTH BOOK to talk about all things pain relief for birth. Stephen takes us through the whole spectrum of options available for women during labour, how and when each method is administered, the pros and cons, effectiveness and associated risks.
Tong’s practical and expert approach is free of agenda – it has no staunch philosophies on how women should approach their own birth. He simply aims to arm women with insightful information, empowering them for this most special of life events.

What happens during labour exactly? Will I tear? Are epidurals safe? Why are caesars even needed?
Stephen’s book, The Birth Book covers concepts Prof. Tong believes expectant women and their supportive partners would really like to know well. Such as why caesars and forceps are needed, what inducing labour actually is, how episiotomies and tears are mended among other topics.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a leading obstetrician and international researcher into safe childbirth, Professor Stephen Tong guides you through vital information to help prepare for a safe and happy birth day.
Simply written and accessible, the pages are packed with information and real-life stories covering:
Professor Tong carefully and simply breaks down the evidence and facts to provide you with everything you need to know to turn anxiety and trepidation about childbirth into confidence, empowerment, and cherished, life-long memories.

What started as one mum's quest to find preservative and additive free products for her family, shared via Instagram through a Simple Swap process, has become an inspiration to thousands of consumers to learn more about what they’re buying and eating.
In this episode Nabula shares the WHY behind Supermarket Swap, how it all started, and takes us through how those sneaky little numbers and unrecognisable ingredients on the nutritional panels of the food you buy could be affecting your family.

In this episode we have the absolute pleasure of being joined by "The Real Dads of Adelaide", Brendan and Matt, to talk about their journey to parenthood via surrogacy.
It might come as no surprise but surrogacy in Australia, or anywhere for that matter, is no simple undertaking. Brendan and Matt’s journey involved an egg donor, a surrogate, 100+ hours of "surro-dating", failed embryo transfers, emotional highs and lows, a few arguments along the way, a home birth.. and ultimately the arrival of beautiful Baker, their happy healthy little boy.
In this episode we chat with the guys about their story, taking a detailed look at the surrogacy process in general as well as the realities of adoption and fostering, their own personal experience and their advice for people hoping to become parents via a surrogate... plus plenty of laughs and the odd Kardashian anecdote!

Kids and conflict; whether it's squabbling with siblings over toys, name calling, sibling rivalry or fighting over who had the green bowl first, every family has to deal with family conflict in one way or another, oftentimes on a daily basis. Today Madhavi Nawana Parker, our resident parenting expert and regular KIDDO mag columnist returns to KIDDO chats to talk with us about that dreaded c word. Conflict.
In this episode we really dive into conflict in families between siblings and how to teach kids practical skills to manage conflict in a healthy way, and how to model it ourselves. We talk through kids fighting for the sake of fighting, the difference between sibling conflict and sibling bullying, how to identify our child's conflict resolution style and how to teach our kids to apologise in a meaningful way.
If you've ever asked yourself "why are my kids ALWAYS arguing with each other?" this is the episode for you!

Let's talk PUBERTY. Specifically, how to broach this tricky topic with our kids!
We know the onset of puberty is a critical time for parents to provide both the education and support that our kids need to feel confident in their growing and changing bodies. But what’s the right time to start teaching our kids the ins and outs of puberty, how much information is TOO much, and what’s the best way to have open informative conversations with our kids without making them crawl up into themselves and die of embarrassment?
To take us through this subject and help us with some tips to guiding our kids through what to expect in their coming-of-age years, we chat with Michelle Mitchell, author of A Girl’s Guide to Puberty and A Guy’s Guide to Puberty. These books, designed to be read by and shared with our kids are jam packed with need-to-know info on puberty, they’re accessible for kids at the same time as offering a great jumping off point for parents to start these important conversations. There's a window of opportunity we have with tweens BEFORE the teenager roller door goes up (and they decide they already know everything)! Seize this opportunity, it's now or never! It's time to establish yourself as a trusted go-to person and reliable source of info about all things growing up and Michelle is going to help set us up for success!
