24.01.2022 Renee Irving-Lee is one of our playgroup mums. If you haven't seen her book yet, you are missing out!

23.01.2022 When we hug our babies, those cuddles have a lasting effect for many years to come on a molecular level. A study published in the journal of Development and Psy...chopathology has discovered that cuddling your baby actually changes their genes. Researchers asked the parents of nearly 100 five-week-old infants to record their baby’s behaviour, including when they fed, slept, cried and were physically consoled, with a diary made of all body contact provided while caregiving. The children were then swabbed four-and-a-half years later to have their DNA examined. Results revealed that the children who had been more deprived of cuddles and being held, and who had been more distressed as babies, had cellular molecular profiles that were underdeveloped. The less a child was hugged in infanthood, the lower than expected their epigenetic age was found to be, showing less favourable developmental progress for the child. This suggests that hugging your baby helps them to be healthy and grow faster. This research complements previous studies that have shown that babies who receive physical touch show stronger brain response; that physically touching babies releases oxytocin that in turn pushes production of growth hormones such as insulin growth factor-I (IGF-1) and nerve growth factor (NGF); that hugs make babies stronger by lowering plasma levels of thyroid hormones and cortisol; and that hugs help with emotional regulation, reducing temper tantrums, reducing stress and increasing resilience in children. This more recent study adds to the body of evidence on securely attached children, showing that early postnatal physical contact such as hugging, holding and snuggling has lasting associations with child biology. You may be doing much more than comforting your baby when you cuddle them; you may be helping set them up for healthier gene development many years into the future, and potentially for their whole lives. Every hug counts. https://www.cambridge.org//9BD9799A7C6E0859B93E092EA0727A4B #neurochild #childdevelopment #brainscience

22.01.2022 Interesting article. "By the time you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated enough for your mood and function to be affected."

11.01.2022 Happy Easter to all our wonderful playgroup families. We miss you all and can't wait until we can all be back together again. I just thought I would share this beautiful song with you at this time. It made it to the top of the mainstream charts in America and was played on mainstream radio in Australia. The message it has is very apt at this Easter time - you are loved beyond measure

09.01.2022 Introducing our new Playgroup Co-ordinator, Jess :) Hi! I’m Jess, the new coordinator for our playgroup. I have been to playgroup on and off previously, so some of you may recognise me, but those who come on Friday’s will know my husband, Harrison, and my mother-in-law, Shauna.... I have always been passionate about working with children, so in 2016, 6 months out of highschool I started my diploma of early childhood eductaion and care, and by the end of that year I was working at Little Joeys early learning centre. I completed my diploma and worked there in a few different roles right up until April this year, when I accepted the role for playgroup coordinator! So, since April I have had a really refreshing break in which I have almost exlcusively been going out for coffee, spending time with family and friends, and as I’m about to hit my third trimester of pregnancy, patiently awaiting the arrival of our little one in early October. I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all, and to continue providng a safe, and loving environment for you and your children. As we recommence this term, you will notice a few changes we have made to set up and activities to provide a more intentional and stimulating space, but also some practical things we needed to adjust in response to COVID-19.

06.01.2022 Highly recommended read!!!! Most of you at playgroup probably don't have children reaching puberty for a while yet, but worth having this information tucked away for future use.
