21.01.2022 FREE 5 day online parent conference (attend whichever session you want, you don't need to attend them all), I'm sure this information would be useful for parents of children of all ages. This Conference Is For You If You Are: ~ Stuck in a cycle of reaction, power struggles and frustration... ~ Lost in information overwhelm and second-guessing your parenting choices ~ Struggling to find patience during challenging behavior ~ Feeling as though you are a "mean parent" ~ Not sure how to respond when your toddler has aggressive behavior ~ Tired of meltdowns and tantrums ~ Exhausted from yelling and making threats that go unheard

09.01.2022 Did you know that HIPPY week is coming up! Along with National Children's Week? National HIPPY week is celebrated October 26th - 30th. We are very excited here at HIPPY Whittlesea, working hard to put something special together for each of our HIPPY families.

So stay tuned for something special coming in the next few weeks!

09.01.2022 Today we had a Zoom 'Health, Nutrition and Wellness' session with Stacey from Mummy Revival and what a fantastic session it was! I think everyone learned more than they expected and we would like to say a big THANK YOU to Stacey for sharing her knowledge and for staying longer than we had asked to make sure that she had answered everyone's questions. You can follow Stacey on the Mummy Revival Facebook page and Instagram stacey_lapira_mummyrevival https://www.instagram.com/stacey_lapira_mummyrevival/?hl=en and also check out the Mummy Revival website to sign up for their newsletter.

05.01.2022 Today is World Mental Health Day and 2020 has had an impact on people of all ages, religions, genders, cultures, socio-economic stars or anything else. Mental health struggles do not discriminate, anyone can face this. But there is help available for all of us. We will post some links in the comments for services you can access for yourself, or to help support others. The Kids Help Line is a fantastic resource for helping to support your children, including teenagers. There... are resources on there for children, parents, carers, teachers or anyone who wants to get more information, advice and tips. And from 5 years old children can call the KHL themselves to have a chat and get some support.

05.01.2022 To all the Melbourne parents, carers, grandparents and even older siblings who have helped their primary school students get through what feels like years of remote learning, YOU DID IT!! It's the last day of remote learning!! No more online classes, no more googling trying to work out primary school maths (wait, that's not just me is it? ) no more remote learning!

02.01.2022 MUSIC THERAPY The Supported Playgroup Team are excited to invite you to a fun, interactive live music event on Whittlesea Unites. The session will be run every Thursday at 10.30am by Kristy Biber, a Registered Music Therapist, who has been working with families and young children for over ten years. Using music at home can help with building routines, developing motor skills and language, and is a great chance for you to play and connect with your children. In these sessions we will sing and dance, make instruments out of things around the home, and Kristy will help you learn new ways to use music and have fun together.
