Wall Unit

Fiona from Marlborough Sounds

Good condition unit. Trying to declutter as this is just too big for our wee place. Will consider offers over $100. Very solid and heavy so needs some strong people to move it but possible to lie flat on a large trailer. Will add pictures later.

Price: $130

Coping strategies for earthquake-affected children

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.
