Engage is an evidence based approach that supports the development of children's self regulation skills through play - to support positive behaviour and learning outcomes at school, and contribute to positive life course outcomes through adolescence and into adulthood.
Engage focusses on three domains of self regulation: emotional (feeling), cognitive (thinking) and behavioural (doing). Engage also emphasises the use of language - to enhance the effectiveness of games for self regulation, and to support positive language development in early years.
Self regulation skills help us to control our emotions, thoughts and behaviours - our feeling, thinking and doing skills. Self regulation skills help us to: remember instructions, juggle two of more tasks at once, keep going with difficult or frustrating tasks, resist the temptation to do something that might not be good for us, wait for rewards, take turns, work well with others, recognise and manage our feelings, deal with difficult emotions (anger, fear, anxiety, frustration etc) and more.
Children use self regulation skills every day, whether it's sitting long enough to listen to a story, remembering a list of instructions and sticking to them, being able to take turns in the playground with other children, or recognising when they are frustrated and stopping themselves from hitting.
A child's behaviour is often a result of how their self regulation skills (feeling, thinking and doing skills) respond to the challenges they face in everyday situations (fear, surprise, frustration, excitement, confusion, anger, hunger, tiredness etc).
Self regulation is a skill, and skills can be improved with practice. People with strong self regulation skills make better decisions more often, and are able to function more effectively in a wider range of situations - leading to more positive outcomes across their lifespan.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
