21.01.2022 During these times its important to keep our kids safe and healthy. But with schools closed what can we do to help ensure they are safe and having fun? Play grounds may not be the best option during such times but kids need fresh air and movement and don't always have to be restricted to the backyard. Take them for long walks near the lake, a nice car ride with the windows open, bike and scooter rides. Let kids use their imagination next to you so they don't feel too couped... up. But remember Parents, you need to take care of yourselves as well! Together lets all fight this disease and come out victorious! See more

14.01.2022 We would like to thank you all for your incredible support with our upcoming events. Unfortunately, with the changing COVID-19 restrictions here in Australia, we have made the decision to cancel the 2021 Brisbane Kids and Parenting Fair. With all of our 2020 scheduled events being postponed until 2021, we believe it is the best option for everyone to focus on re-launching the Kids and Parenting Fair in Brisbane, bigger and better than before, later in 2021. We always strive to deliver the best products, services and entertainment for our visitors, and we cannot wait to share with you our event plans, further down the track in 2021.

07.01.2022 Comment below your best parenting hack!

07.01.2022 Sounds about right

07.01.2022 Some wisdom regarding the next 5 weeks! PARENTS- LISTEN UP. Our Premier has announced, midway through school holidays that children will be schooling from home ...for at least 5 weeks. And I have been bombarded with questions. And because I am a parent- I know the worry and panic that sets in when you want nothing but the best for your child. Spread the word to all the other parents please. Because I personally believe the parents haven't been told anything and are currently sending themselves into an anxious tailspin. 1. DON'T DO ANYTHING YET! Don't buy $100 worth of resources, don't stay up until 2am Google searching programs to print off. There is too much out there at the moment praying on your insecurities. 2. YOU CAN STILL WORK FROM HOME, YOU WON'T BE 'TEACHING'- Homeschooling is the wrong phrase. Your school will email, send packages, whatever way needed. You will just be supervising them completing the work. If you or they don't know what to do, contact the teacher. They will explain to the child, or provide alternatives to help them. You don't have to be a teacher, just a supervisor. 3. BE REALISTIC- You do not have to 'set up a classroom'. They don't have to be working ALLLLL day. Look at the chart below. That's what hours they need. The teacher will be checking off who is working, by gathering physical or digital evidence. It will not be all up to you. 4. GIVE YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER A MINUTE- When you ask a question, it may take 24 hours to reply. If you can't do something until they explain it- DON'T! Just use it as an excuse to chill out. We teachers are not going to be critically analysing every piece of work. We will scan for issues and problems, as we do walking around the classroom. But we are not expecting 100 percent correct answers and a 2000 word essay from a 9 year old. 5. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN 'MUM SHAMING'- There is already a lot of it. People showing perfect houses, setting up enriching and engaging activities they are doing with their children. Which leads you to feel guilty, because your kid has been eating biscuits and watching TV. 'My child will be left behind, I am a terrible parent ruining the future of my baby'. Don't fall trap to the 'SOCIAL MEDIA' lives people are portraying. They have taken a still frame image of a 10 minute section of their day, applied filters and over exaggerated their words in their status. Do what you have to do mamas and papas. Yes, things are going to happen in the next few months that normally wouldn't. They will probably have too much screen time. Screen time may not even be bad- look below for ABC's educational TV that will be playing. Your house may look messier. You may have a night where you eat waffles and ice cream for dinner. Give yourself a break. Your little ones are scared. They may not show it, but they have lost their routine. They are hearing big words that they don't know how to comprehend. They need hugs, not being yelled at by a stressed mum or dad, who is doing things that are not really needed. Their education will recover. Their mental health may not. I know which one I will prioritise. Look after yourselves xxoo

06.01.2022 Healthy meals are vital for keeping little ones happy and well

06.01.2022 TODAY'S MEME OF THE DAY! Amongst all the Coronavirus hype... you need a laugh. This was too funny not to share.

05.01.2022 Kids get great benefits from playing board games. Not only does it mean family time but it also teaches them teamwork, patience, and how to win and lose gracefully, board games can actually benefit kids' brains and language development.

05.01.2022 Did you know that if your kiddies learn sustainable practices from a young age, they are more likely to carry these habits with them as they get older!! One of the best ways to teach your children is by motivating them to explore nature, the outdoors and different eco-friendly options available.
