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!
Have a say on Petone to Grenada Link Road
NZTA plan to build a Four Lane link road from Petone to Grenada under Fasttrack legislation. They plan to take it through several well established significant native bush reserves (Seton Nossitor, Gilberds Bush, Escarpment, a small part of Belmont Park etc). These are precious recreation areas in the northern suburbs and home to an amazing array of birds. The evening birdsong in Seton Nossitor Park makes it easy to think you are not even in a city. This will all disappear forever if NZTA have their way. Under Fasttrack there is little option for consultation and feedback. Tomorrow there is an "information" session where you have a chance to engage with NZTA and find out why they are building a road straight through an established builtup suburb and mulitple areas of native bush (when there are other options that can go through bare farmland). Go down and have your say. We have to stop this senseless destruction.
Community information sessions:
Newlands Baptist Church, 5 Horokiwi Road West, on:
• Saturday 14 March from 11am–2pm
• Tuesday 17 March from 4pm–7pm

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
