23.01.2022 Healthy eating tips at home Try to have a bowl full of fresh fruit within easy view and reach on the kitchen table or bench. You can offer fruit as a snack or if your child is still hungry after meals. Stock your pantry and fridge with lots of healthy, nutritious options, and leave the sometimes food on the supermarket shelves. Try to choose fruit and vegies of different colours, textures and tastes the more variety there is, the more likely it is your child will f...ind something that he’s interested in eating. Get your child involved in planning and preparing meals. If your child has helped to make the meal, she’s more likely to eat it. Enjoy healthy meals together as a family as often as possible. Read books that have healthy food messages for your child. www.kincareservices.com.au

20.01.2022 Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Grandads, Uncles, and Carers. Thank you for all that you do

18.01.2022 The more you talk about big and small things with children every day from an early age, the more they are likely to talk to you about the things that worry them as they get older (including the big things that worry you). Talking about what’s happening in the family, at school and in the wider world is a way of building trust, showing interest and showing them they are loved. Start the talking habit early, before the complex teenage years have begun. www.kincareservices.com.au

16.01.2022 Who doesn't love rock painting??? It's a relaxing and easy school holiday activity that can be modified according to your child’s abilities. As a parent or carer, watch your child explore or awaken their artistic abilities while allowing a ‘space’ to be with them. You can also ditch the paint brush and use your hands to paint the rocks for a sensory activity! http://fourcheekymonkeys.com/play-love/rock-painting-ideas/

11.01.2022 A recent article states government-funded parenting website www.raisingchildren.net.au has seen a significant change in the types of information parents are looking for since the pandemic commenced, with sleep and tantrums being a major topic of interest. They believe and we agree, "the earlier parents and children receive the support they need, the less likely the stressors of the past few months will develop into more acute health issues." At KIN CARE, we have a team of highly skilled professionals to support families and participants in ensuring they meet their full potential. In addition to working with participants across QLD, we also specialise in working with families and participants who are being supported by both Child Safety and NDIS together. https://kincareservices.com.au/programs/

09.01.2022 Given its Autism Awareness Month in April, it is important to be aware of ways you can support a person with autism. www.kincareservices.com.au/bl/support-a-person-with-autism/

09.01.2022 Hugs and cuddles are important for bonding and helping children to feel secure. They need it less (and probably want it less) as they get older but it's a good habit to keep up. For example, with an older child, you could at least give them a hug each time you are saying goodbye and won't be seeing them for a while. www.kincareservices.com.au

08.01.2022 Parents and carers can have a big impact on their children’s education. By providing learning opportunities and support at home you can help encourage learning from an early age, right through to high school. 1. Make books important Turn off the TV and devices and read for half an hour. Sitting in the same room and reading independently can send strong messages about enjoying books.... 2. Visit the library Help your children borrow books and borrow yourself. 3. Write together Compose greetings together for birthdays and other special occasions, whether a card, letter or email. 4. Discuss the news Talk to your children about family events, trips, and local and national news events that are appropriate for their age. 5. Help your child with homework Just being there, expressing an interest and saying you want to help can make your child feel supported. 6. Do things together There can be lots of talking, reading and writing involved when planning and participating in family events. These include bike rides, cooking, shopping trips, researching for a day out, working in the garden, visiting friends or family, or planning an outing to a cinema, museum or public event. Get your children involved in the process.

08.01.2022 How do you make strong families? It isn’t about having a lot of money or possessions. Strong families grow from love, security, communication, connection and a few rules and routines too. Read on...https://raisingchildren.net.au//safety-and/strong-families

07.01.2022 Studies show that when kids participate in sport for intrinsic reasons, such as a desire to master the sport or to enjoy time with friends, they demonstrate better sportsmanship. Winning is a by-product of their increasing competence and they build stronger relationships. On the other hand, when kids participate in sports for extrinsic purposes, such as for social status or popularity, they tend to display poorer sportsmanship. Winning becomes the measure of success, and their accompanying sense of importance, status, and prestige. So what can we do as parents and carers to help our kids? It's as simple as changing the conversation we have about their participation in sport. It’s an old line but it’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how you play the game and why you play the game.

06.01.2022 Strength-Based Parenting | Dr. Lea Waters, a Melbourne, Australia-based psychologist and author, has studied ways to improve interactions between parents and their children for decades. Dr. Waters emphasizes the value of identifying and nurturing children’s character strengths, and the value that such efforts can have in regard to promoting children’s long-term happiness and achievements. Dr. Waters defined character strengths as those things that are personality-based and internal, including curiosity, courage, humor, and kindness. These character strengths work in conjunction with talents, which may include things like athletic ability, musical skills and problem-solving. Strength-based parenting espouses the importance of cultivating kids’ character strengths as much as their talents. What do you think of Strength-Based Parenting?

06.01.2022 "It’s important to recognise that things will never be perfect. We can’t predict the future, and many things happen throughout the day that we just cannot control or don’t see coming. Rather than striving for perfection and feeling defeated when our expectations aren’t met, we can work towards adopting a more practical view of perfection.... This will allow us to put more time and energy into our children and family rather than focusing on meeting unrealistic expectations." https://parentline.com.au//issu/homes-arent-always-perfect

04.01.2022 Emotion coaching is the practice of talking with children about their feelings, and offering kids strategies for coping with emotionally difficult situations. The goal is to empathize, reassure, and teach. But what's the evidence that emotion coaching works? Observational studies show consistent links between emotion coaching and better child outcomes. Children who are coached have fewer emotional and behavior problems, including problems with anger, anxiety, and acting out (...Hurrell et al 2017; Dumcombe et al 2014; Short et al 2010; Gottman et al 1996). They also tend to develop better social skills and peer relationships (Denham et al 1997; Gottman et al 1996). https://www.gottman.com//age-age-guide-helping-kids-manag/
