The Complete Confidence Program
It's here again! Starting at the beginning of August we are running the Complete Confidence Program. Specialised help for families of picky eaters.
It's my way of making advice affordable and manageable for all.
If every day is a food struggle, or you've long since given up trying to make changes because it is too hard or too upsetting, then this is the program for you.
1. The commitment is only to 15-30 minutes a week. Yes, that's it. Even in a crazy schedule it's not even a full episode of your favourite TV show.
2. There will be many parts of the program that are suitable for all families, even those where issues are very extreme, or you have the world’s most food-stubborn child (I meet a LOT of those). It will be helpful whatever your situation.
3. The program is tiny, bite-sized actions that will slot into family routines. Very little additional energy required!
4. If you’ve tried everything and nothing works: I get that, and it’s true for many of the families we work with, and yet we can still make progress.
5. Most of what we do will not be difficult for anyone and much of what we do will be a positive for your child. I know this from running programs every week. Children love a lot of the strategies we put into place. Rather than thinking of it as a big change, think of it as new, fun ways to approach things.
6. This is truly the BEST deal you will ever get. $ 12.00 per week is a very small amount to help resolve such a huge stress. You will also “get that money back” very quickly once you have a child eating more confidently.
7. I think it’s useful to reflect on how long eating has been a challenge. If it’s been more than a year, I would say the time is definitely now 😊
8. If you don’t feel it’s a fit for your family you can drop out at any time. The commitment is only from month to month. Very little to lose and very much to gain!!
As I know what will be in the program, I also know how valuable it is and how much you can gain from it. If you have questions, feel free to pm me.
If you’re sitting on the fence, honestly, don’t. Take the risk!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
31.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
