Ashamed to go back to school

Variety

Going back to school without a school uniform or necessary supplies can make a child feel ashamed. Some kids avoid going to school altogether to escape the shame. Even if they go, they are so embarrassed, it knocks their confidence and makes it hard to learn.

Some kids avoid going to school altogether to escape the shame. Even if they go, they are so embarrassed, it knocks their confidence and makes it hard to learn.

You can help a child start the school year with everything they need to be confident and focused on learning. Send them to school with a uniform, shoes, stationery and anything else they need by sponsoring a Kiwi kid with Variety. We’ve been helping Kiwi kids all around New Zealand for 30 years.

That wonderful organisation called PLUNKET

Nancy from Mount Eden

Hullo. To all of those wonderful mothers of the 50s,60s and seventies. I’m one of those too. Do you remember those fantastic Plunket nurses who came once a week when we first came out of hospital with our new babies. I know how we awaited their visits and advise with great gratitude.

Do you remember those fantastic Plunket nurses who came once a week when we first came out of hospital with our new babies. I know how we awaited their visits and advise with great gratitude. They weighed our little ones, and advised on breastfeeding, rashes, teething, formulas and you name it all of those problems associated with a new born. How much we looked forward to their visits to put our mind at rest. All recorded in our individual Plunket Books.

I have a program on community radio Planet FM 104.6 once a month where we talk on NZ history, heritage and the people who have helped shape NZ over the past years. I feel Plunket definitely comes under those headings. If you would like to help me get a program together or chat to me about your experience I would be most grateful. Some of you might still have kept your Plunket books!

Thank you Ladies.
