18.01.2022 Another wonderful tip from Dr Justin Coulson from our membership with him. Lighten the load Do you know how it feels to talk to someone who isn't really paying attention? They're kind of half in and half out of the conversation. They're 'there', but they're not really there?... There is very little we can do that is more important than truly connecting with our children. When we connect we show that they matter. We show we value them. We show that they belong. We show that we love them. It's actually easier to do than you might think, and my guess is that you can do it today if you try. Next time your child wants to talk with you - about anything at all - stop, look, and listen. Stop what you're doing. Literally stop. Put it down. Put it away. Stop moving. Look them in the eyes. Focus on them. Really see your child. Listen. And not just to the words. Listen to their heart. Listen to their yearnings. Listen to the way that they long for your attention, acknowledgement, and approval in everything they share with you. Connect. It doesn't need to take long - and it builds them in powerful ways. Because... if they know that they matter to you, then they know they matter.

17.01.2022 Pictured here is Lisa with two hand made donated blankets from community member Danielle. Thanks so much Danielle for your thoughtfulness. We will make sure they go to someone who needs to keep warm this winter.

17.01.2022 We had a great day at the Bullsbrook family fun day hosted by CWA Bullsbrook and districts. Thank you to everyone who came and said hello

17.01.2022 Wonderful tips from Dr Justin Coulson from our membership with him Lighten the Load In recent times I've been struck by an anonymous quote I came across:... When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. This idea comes from mindfulness practice and it's usually about changing the way we look at stress in our lives, making things less stressful in the process. However, I think it has even more powerful application for raising children. When we change the way we look at our children, the children we're looking at change. Here's what I mean: Let's say you're regularly looking at your child with annoyance, frustration, and accusation. It's most likely that she'll feel judged, unworthy, and threatened. As such, her behaviour will be challenging, defensive, even aggressive. But what if we practiced looking at her with compassion, patience, and love? What if our eyes were soft, our tone of voice, gentle, and our words, kind? The result may not be immediate, but I suspect that by changing the way we look at her, she might sense our shift and literally change before our eyes as she begins to feel safe, secure, and loved, no matter what. This week, when you feel like looking at your children in a less-than-charitable way, change the way you look at them. Bring them close rather than pushing them away. I have a feeling it will be all the change you need.

08.01.2022 It was an honour to represent CLAN at NAIDOC Day in Ellenbrook. It was also a wonderful experience for my 6 year old son to be immersed in the Aboriginal culture and learn about smoking ceremonies from Vaughn and his amazing sons. We learnt about the history of the land in Ellenbrook and that it’s original name means the ‘land of looking.’ I’m sure NAIDOC week in Ellenbrook is only going to get bigger! Always was, Always will be.... ~Sharon~

08.01.2022 Our Meerilinga Community FAST families have completed week 4/8 of the program. Half way already! It certainly does go very FAST!

06.01.2022 On Tuesday, we welcomed 8 families to BabyFAST at the Swan Child and Parent Centre in Koongamia. At BabyFAST, the weekly agenda is the same each week, as this allows our families to feel comfortable as they get to know what to expect each week. One of the activities they participate in each week is called ‘Choices.’ For the Choices activity this week, the families created their own family flag. Each family member choices an item to put on their flag that represents themselve...s and items that represent their baby. They can also add items that represent other family members who are important to their child, but unable to be at BabyFAST. Their family flag will stay on their family table for the duration of the 8 week program. The Flag not only represents the family, but it also highlights the importance of creating a boundary around the family. Did you know that some families still have their family flags many years after completing the program? Pretty amazing hey! See more
