Eating happens three to five times a day, seven days per week so when something is going wrong it impacts dramatically on the whole family. It makes meal times stressful, social occasions a nightmare and packing lunchboxes a minefield. Judith has been on a mission to support parents to get their fussy eaters eating. To enable more and more children to approach food from a place of confidence, safety and joy, not fear. In speaking to over a hundred families a year Judith realised that many parents were struggling with exactly the same issue. How to get a child that has a limited diet to learn to eat new things. Or how to try something not currently on the menu.

Drivers urged to stay alert at intersectionsWellington drivers are being reminded to take extra care and stay alert at intersections with a region-wide campaign now under way to help reduce crashes. A third of crashes in the Wellington region last year occurred at intersections. NZ Transport Agency Regional Transport Systems Manager Mark Owen says failing to give way at intersections is one of the main causes of death and injury on New Zealand roads.
Can Anyone Learn to Draw?Anyone can learn to draw. Children under ten are usually contented with their beautiful, colourful symbol drawings and paintings (as we all are!) and are probably best left to pursue those in their own way. At this stage in their development, they are more aware of the shapes and colours and how they fit together than whether their creations look real or not. They are more likely to benefit from art experiences – opportunities to explore different materials and activities that stimulate their inherent creativity.
