a sip of summer {and a ten on ten reminder} It's the final days of summer friends, time to soak in the last few lazy moments before the kids head back to school. Time to use the grill for dinner, camp in the backyard, make a big messy outdoor project and eat popsicles until your hearts content. I am taking a few days this week to soak in these moments with family but not to fear a few of my sweet friends will be here keeping you company and sharing a little sip of summer with you to help you drink in the last of summer's goodness. They will be sharing their very favorite summer sipper recipes to keep you guys cool while your soaking it all in. And of course I had to leave you with a tiny little summer sipper project inspired by the mason jar sippies I made for Simon's birthday. This time though I used a hole punch (thanks to Cailan for the brilliant spin) to create the straw hole and then I cut a piece of oil cloth using the lid as a template and made a matching hole with the hole punch in the cloth too. Happy monday everyone!
In Tune — Tweed Couch Games In Tune is a game that deals with bodies, their interactions, and giving/withholding consent. Players are asked to negotiate and communicate their own physical boundaries with a partner using skin-to-skin contact as the main controller of the game. Its goal is to develop players’ skills and ability to navigate consent and physical interactions while hopefully provoking thought about how daily interactions with people and the space around them also involves similarly complicated negotiations. It is also looking to have players examine their own comfort levels and see how thoughtful communication has the potential to shift those levels. You can listen to our original indie love song, I Love Indie Nostalgia and You, here. It was recorded with the assistance of Drew Pascoe (recording) and Michael J. This game was created by Allison Cole, Jessica Rose Marcotte and Zachary Miller.

Subscribe by email | Like us on Facebook | Follow us on Pinterest | Follow us on Twitter | Follow us on YouTube I’ve mentioned the zCush Baby Nap Mat before HERE and HERE because of how much we liked it. and used it every single day afterward until he ultimately grew out of it. I am seriously THE WORST at transferring Trent from one spot to another. I wish! Before he would fall asleep, we would put Trent in the nap mat and then feed him or rock him to sleep. The side zips open for easy access. It truly was a lifesaver! And because babies make messes, the mat and cover are machine washable! The cushion and cover are machine-washable. I am sad that the nap mat is now too small for my growing boy. But we got plenty of use out of it for a few months. or at these local retailers.

Health and physical education / Learning areas / The New Zealand Curriculum He oranga ngākau, he pikinga waiora. In health and physical education, the focus is on the well-being of the students themselves, of other people, and of society through learning in health-related and movement contexts. Four underlying and interdependent concepts are at the heart of this learning area: Hauora1 – a Māori philosophy of well-being that includes the dimensions taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana, and taha whānau, each one influencing and supporting the others. Footnotes In health and physical education, the use of the word hauora is based on Mason Durie’s Te Whare Tapa Whā model (Durie, 1994). Return to top
Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes Image copyright Milla Kontkanen For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It's like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates. It's a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it's designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they're from, an equal start in life. The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers. It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress. With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby's first bed. Image copyright Finnish Labour Museum Werstas Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it's worth much more. The tradition dates back to 1938. Contents of the box Not for long.
« Eduquons nos adolescents au consentement » Le premier rapport, un moment de grâce ? Pas pour tout le monde : selon les données du Baromètre Santé 2016 qui viennent d’être publiées, 1,7 % des jeunes filles ont perdu leur virginité sous la contrainte, et 10,7 % parce qu’elles ont cédé aux attentes de leur partenaire. Traduction : une adolescente sur huit entre dans sa sexualité sans l’avoir désiré. Selon un sondage Madame Figaro/BVA paru cette semaine, 20 % des enfants sont par ailleurs victimes de comportements sexistes ou de harcèlement sexuel (18 % des filles en primaire, 29 % au collège, jusqu’à 40 % au lycée). Pour faire bouger les lignes, l’agence Santé publique France (Spf) propose aux adolescents, sur le site Onsexprime.fr, une page consacrée au consentement. Il n’y a pas de violées sans violeurs Au trouble des adolescents répond la confusion des adultes : comment faire alors pour envoyer un message clair ? Avant tout, nous devons mettre fin à un discours qui ne s’adresse qu’aux filles. Les « besoins » des hommes
A Mighty Girl Spotlight: Talking with Younger Girls about their Bodies By Katherine Handcock, A Mighty Girl Senior Research Intern Since the moment someone said, “It’s a girl” or “It’s a boy”, sex has been a part of your child’s life. And while there has been at least one highly publicized (and debated) effort to raise a baby without gender, the truth is that, sooner or later, every child will notice how their body is the same, or different, from other bodies. But while conversations about bodies and sex can be awkward for parents, they’re important even for a preschooler or elementary aged child. There are many reasons why you should start talking (in age-appropriate ways) to your child at this age. One is to take the mystery away from genitalia: if you cheerfully label “ear”, “arm”, and “knee” but refer vaguely to “private parts” or use euphemisms, children may think that there is something wrong, dangerous, or scary about this part of their bodies. Learning about Parts of the Body “Where Do Babies Come From?” It’s So Amazing! Understanding Touch
50 Outdoor Summer Activities For Kids I am seriously down to HOURS until my kids are done with school and I am getting a little nervous . . . the first few days are always fun, but then the "I'm Bored" whines and cries set in. Ahhhh! I rounded up some fun outdoor activities that would be perfect to chase the bored blues away and keep kids from turning into couch potatoes over the summer. Most can be done for free or very inexpensively and you can help the kids get set-up with these activities and then let their imaginations run wild.
