They were once forlorn teddy bear orphans, discarded to a charity shop – until a mother and daughter realised they could be the key to helping children cope with anxiety.
Nicky Buist and daughter Jaz Lotz have been re-purposing pre-loved soft toys by weighting them with sand and lacing them with lavender as a calming strategy for overwhelmed children.
Passionate about helping young people, the pair wanted to help combat what they see as an increasing need to help parents find ways of dealing with their child’s feelings of anxiety and sadness.
A month ago they formed Weighty Warriors after trials with weighted teddy bears proved successful with the children they worked with.
They have since begun selling the soft toys around New Zealand, including to schools in Auckland and Rolleston.

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”

The council will publicly notify its proposal early next month. If adopted, it will result in changes to the way the council is elected and structured from the next local elections in 2022.
The key changes in the proposal include:
- The Selwyn Central ward would be replaced by a smaller Rolleston ward established, which would have three councillors rather than the current four, with all the other wards retaining their current number of councillors.
- West Melton would move from the current Selwyn Central ward to the Malvern Ward
- The area between Burnham and Rolleston would move from the current Selwyn Central Ward to the Ellesmere Ward.
- The Malvern Community Board would be retained with five members, elected from the existing subdivisions of Hawkins (2) and Tawera (1), and a new subdivision covering West Melton (2).
Since Selwyn's last review, its population has grown rapidly but unevenly across the district, meaning changes were required to the existing ward boundaries to ensure an even spread of representation.
