Weekdays

Mike had a chat with Charlotte from the Gala and they spoke about toddlers and bedtime. Charlotte gave some insightful tips on how to deal with toddlers not wanting to go to sleep at night and getting up at night. 

With all the bad news we've been hearing lately, we can easily be sucked down into thinking 'isn't our community terrible'. That's why Allan Tranter teaches us that the small things we do are so important. Our small, kind actions are a counter balance to all the saddness in people's live and the tragedy that's been happening.

Karina challenges us with the question, where do we find our significance? Is it in our job title? Isn't it funny how we use our job titles to introduce ourselves. Like "Hi Im Karina, I'm the manager for Play Space Strategies for Save the Children"

Mike Crichton sat down with Cheri Macchiusi from MOPS and this time they spoke about future, new and young mums. They discussed the top 30 phrases NOT to say to mums such as "aren't you loving it?" And most common things people say that might or will hurt new mums. Stuff said accidentally can be taken up the wrong way and have a lasting impact. But do not fear there are support groups that will assist new struggling mums. Being a new mum is not easy and might sometimes feel unrewarding but in the long run it will be the best thing you have ever done. 

We live in a world that promotes fame over purpose and self-image. So, for the month of September Kin Women are talking about finding significance over fame or purpose. Often significance is found when we don't focus on our self as much. We actually focus on others so that's what Amanda from Kin Women talks about today.

On an average day, as an adult, we make over 1000 choices. Graham Irvine from Riverview church thinks as parents we need to help our children learn this very fundamental skill that that at as adults we have to use every single day. So making choices and giving our teenagers the opportunity to live by their choices is very fundamental to growing them into that adult that they're going to be.
