Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.

Parental conflicts a Mojor reason for Children Mental Health

When parents argue frequently or are in high-conflict relationships, children often experience stress and emotional turmoil. This environment can lead to feelings of insecurity, anxiety, and depression. Children may internalize the conflict, blaming themselves or feeling powerless to change the situation. Over time, this can impact their social development and behavior, leading to difficulties in school and with peers. Constant exposure to tension can also affect a child’s ability to form healthy relationships in the future. Additionally, parental conflict can disrupt the stability of the home, further heightening feelings of uncertainty and fear. Mental health issues stemming from parental conflict can persist into adulthood if not addressed. Early intervention, such as counseling and support for both parents and children, is crucial. Promoting healthy communication and conflict resolution skills can mitigate these negative effects and support better mental health outcomes for children.

Tapu (Sacredness) and Noa (Balance) - Day 18

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

The Sacred Spring of Waiora

A sacred spring hidden in the forest was said to have healing powers but was tapu (restricted) to those with ill intent. One day, a chief's child fell ill, and the community approached the spring with prayers and offerings, guided by a tohunga (spiritual leader).… View more
The Sacred Spring of Waiora

A sacred spring hidden in the forest was said to have healing powers but was tapu (restricted) to those with ill intent. One day, a chief's child fell ill, and the community approached the spring with prayers and offerings, guided by a tohunga (spiritual leader). Through their humility and respect for the tapu, the child was healed. The spring remained sacred, but the balance of noa (everyday access) allowed it to serve as a source of hope for the people.

Moral: Respect for sacredness maintains balance and harmony between the spiritual and physical worlds.

Something different

Nick Jenness from Nick The Builder

Howdy Neighbours.

Here's something a little bit different. Our lovely clients had an existing cedar privacy screen at their front door and wanted to extend it by adding an additional panel. So we custom made them a new one too match.
We are not Joiners but it came out pretty good I reckon.

Once stained to match the existing panel it will look like it was always there. 👍

A tip for the Season Of Overwhelm

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Saying yes too much. Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list and not enough hours in the day. Distracted. And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on … View moreHi Neighbours, are you feeling overwhelmed? Multi-tasking. Saying yes too much. Or not saying no enough. Committing and then not getting as much done as expected. Too many things on the to-do list and not enough hours in the day. Distracted. And now it’s the holiday season and everything is on turbo-charge!

Here’s one tip that can help move your attention from all that over thinking and relentless planning.

Use your body as a way of becoming present. Take advantage of short moments of waiting during the day to switch your attention to what you are feeling in your body at this moment.

Start by taking an intentional breath into your chest and down through your abdomen. Emphasize the exhale to get all the air out. From there, you might simply feel the weight and the connection of your body to the chair you’re sitting in or your feet to the ground.
If you would like to train your ability to cope with overwhelm, good-quality mindfulness training is proven to help.

I run a friendly small group in Meadowbank, third Monday of the month. (Except December!)
