The way you parent has little effect on post-traumatic stress your children may be experiencing, research shows.

University of Canterbury researcher Dr Kathleen Liberty says parenting styles account for about 2 to 5 per cent of the variance in childhood post-traumatic stress disorder.

This knowledge should reassure parents who believe their children's trauma and anxiety arises from the stress the Canterbury earthquakes have placed on many families, and remind schools dealing with quake-affected children not to engage in "parent shaming", Liberty says.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
