•uhm 🙋‍♀️ I have a question? And maybe a comment…or 10….•

True story. In a room full of parents last night 🤦‍♀️.

There was also the nugget of “In my day there weren’t as many kids diagnosed?”🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Followed by a comment about kids being over diagnosed with ADHD, “that is caused by the child’s environment” 😳 (insert WTF).

The actual opinion of a well known Australian “parenting expert” and “low key celebrity” as he referred to himself 🤯.

I had no words, and SO many words all at the same time. If it hadn’t been time up, I think my MANY words may have just come out of my mouth.

•Halloween•

A monster mash, creepy craft, a haunted house, hide and spook, scary boo-ks, jumping critters and escaped zombies in the clinic this week!

Lots of fun and so many smiles- a few jumps from Miss Michelle when the decorations fall off the wall😱.

Happy Halloween to you all 👻 🕷️ 🎃

•Term 4 ☀️•

I hope you all had a lovely break with your families. I’m sufficiently covered in sunburn, mosquito bites and some cuts and bruises from a mad stack on a kids scooter- time to be back in the clinic!

Can’t wait to see you all for my favorite term of all 🎃 🎄 🎅.

Where the words “too sweet for me” and also, “someone put me up a double shot of whiskey” are equally valid.

•Week 10•
Brought to you by caffeine ☕️ .

Thank you for another wonderful term with your beautiful little cherubs (we’re nearly there!). I always find term 3 to be the most taxing on everyone 😅. It’s so nice to see the sun out now (mind the magpies!) and hopefully the end of all the winter bugs.

Bring on the school holidays ☀️ 🌊 🏕️

•Book Week 🐛 🦋 •

I have a love/hate relationship with Book Week. I love everything about talking about books and instilling a love of reading in our little people. Books open up doors to places we’ve never been, they give us knowledge and cool new words to learn and set up our preschoolers for success with literacy- there is so much to love about books!

Research shows children that are read to are exposed to thousands more words by the time they hit school, than those who aren’t. We love books!

BUT… I’m not the crafty Mum that makes the amazing outfits - if it was a bake sale, I’d be all over it, but creating crafted outfits is not my thing. One of my kids is going in his footy gears 🏉 , one is a fairy with clothes out of the dress up box 🧚,and one found a random handed down giraffe onesie in his sisters wardrobe that fitted the brief 🦒 (even though it doesn’t actually fit the kid- the legs are up to his knees). Everyone is happy, job done.

Just a reminder, you don’t need to be that crafty mum, and you definitely don’t need to feel bad that your kid is in the store bought costume they’ve used for the past 2 years, Book Week celebrations are about just that, celebrating books. If you’ve enjoyed sharing a book with your child a few times this week, that’s a win in my eyes.

100 percent behind our Teachers. Thank you for all you do. You deserve better.

Today, Queensland teachers are taking strike action to call for fair pay, safer working conditions, and better resources including a plan to get more teachers. (read this bit carefully- this is about more than just money)

We know how much heart and dedication teachers bring to our children every day, and we stand with them as they work towards a stronger, safer future for education in Queensland.
