Participate in child development research at the University of Auckland!
Hi everyone!
We are currently looking for children between the ages of 0 - 11 to participate in research! The aim of our research is to better understand infant and child development based on groups of children rather than on individuals. In our published works we describe our findings to provide information for clinicians, teachers, and parents who work with children, including children with disabilities. We aim to better understand the world of our society’s youngest members and hope that in so doing we might be able to make their world a better place.
All participating children will receive a small prize as our thank you, your name will go into our weekly draw for shopping vouchers and we will provide free parking on campus for the duration of your session. Best of all, you will be contributing to scientific research that will help us to better understand the world of our society’s youngest members, and the ways that we can be more responsive to their needs.
If you are interested in finding out more or participating, please feel free to go to our webpage and complete a registration form (www.earlylearning.ac.nz...), or contact us by phone 09 923 4236 or email earlylearning.nz@gmail.com.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
