Family law mediation – a better approach hanges to the law make it necessary for parties to attempt mediation prior to filing applications in the Family Court after the breakdown of a relationship. These changes have been a long time coming and mark a new and better approach.

Parties benefit from an experienced mediator facilitating them communicating with their former partners in a protected setting and finding new ways of approaching the issues that they are facing. The mediator will conduct confidential sessions with each party, to answer questions and help them prepare for the mediation. Then, on the day of the mediation, the parties will briefly explain what has brought them there, the impact, and what they would like for the future. The mediator will reflect back what the parties have said, then create an agenda of issues to discuss. The parties choose topics and discuss how they affect them. This is often the first time that parties have been able to have such conversations and is an important step. Often, once parties have had an

opportunity to express themselves in this way, they are in a better frame of mind to look at ways to settle their disputes. After exploring the issues, the parties break into confidential sessions with the mediator. They then reconvene and discuss options, taking into account both parties’ issues, then reality check them to see where there may be agreement. Where there is an agreement Consent Orders can be drafted which can be filed in the Family Court. Mediation is cost effective, successful and allows parties to have input into what happens to their children and their assets as opposed to spending tens of thousands of dollars and years in litigation and having someone who knows nothing about the parties making decisions which are often unsatisfactory to both parties. Meredith Hunter is a Nationally Accredited Mediator with 17 years experience in Family and Care and Protection Law. She also works as a Children’s Lawyer and is a Director of Hunter Cook Legal.

any teachers and parents report to Kip McGrath that their students lack resilience in their every-day learning tasks. They say that it’s too easy for them to give up and not try.

This is a serious problem, because it holds them back from achieving their real potential. Kids who are frightened to try, never push their own limits and never discover how great they truly can be. Perhaps your child is like this. At Kip McGrath centres they understand that learners with more resilience are more likely to achieve success, because they have the staying power to achieve their goals. Parents know all too well how easy it is to give up! They’ve been there many times themselves. So how do you help your children develop more resilience in their learning? At Kip McGrath, qualified and experienced teachers focus on the process of learning and not just the results. They encourage students to develop a ‘have-a-go’ attitude and not be frightened of getting the answer wrong. Staff teach them that errors are valuable lessons. There’s a huge difference between saying, “That’s wrong” and saying, “There’s a

valuable lesson to be learned here”. For more than 36 years Kip McGrath has been helping students understand that getting 100% is not as valuable as learning from mistakes made. This is where real, independent learning takes place: looking at the errors and working out how to correct them. They encourage students to work with their errors – to analyse them and understand why they made them. Could your child benefit from learning to understand the value of their errors? Join Kip McGrath today in encouraging your children to develop ‘have-a-go’ attitudes. Remember, it’s that attitude that has made Australian film directors, engineers and soldiers famous all over the world. It’s as Australian as Kip McGrath.

Hypnosis a natural, drug free alternative

What would you do in an emergency?

f you are looking for a safe, natural, non-invasive treatment for childhood or adult challenges look no further than hypnotherapy. Everyone experiences hypnosis naturally at least 7 times daily.

t’s a question that plagues many of you with concern for your family’s safety. Would you be able to react calmly? Could you provide First Aid care that could save a loved one’s life?

Hypnotherapy has been used for centuries to treat medical conditions but has flown under the radar of late with society’s ‘pill popping’ mentality. Treating afflictions including bedwetting, OCD/anxiety, phobias, allergy relief, focus at school, issues with weight and sensible eating choices, to name a few.

Flex Training Services specialises in helping people learn something new or brush up on old skills, and what could be better than learning to save a life? In just one day, you could have the knowledge and skills to provide emergency First Aid care with their popular Senior First Aid course.

In adults they treat smoking cessation, weight loss, performance enhancement at work, home or sport, and possibly the most important, anxiety and stress relief, when you find it all getting too much.

With the right training you could rest assured that you could save the life of those closest to you. It’s also a highly valued skill amongst employers, so a worthy investment if you’re thinking of returning to the workplace.

treating serious challenges. The benefits of hypnosis can be achieved in as little as one session. For all the benefits or more information call 0466 997 808 or visit www.qmindandbody.com.au

Kids have great imaginations. Hypnosis utilises this and is a fun and simple way of

Save-A-Child First Aid Training

Why a Will is not Estate Planning

any people don’t think about firstaid training until something bad happens! If a child stops breathing for any reason, permanent brain damage generally begins approximately 4 minutes later. Basic resuscitation knowledge can make the difference between life and death in such a situation.

ost people realise that making a Will is essential and that not doing so can result in much hard-ache and/or legal expense for your loved ones.

Injuries such as bleeding, burns, poisoning and allergic reactions also require immediate first aid assistance. Thousands of children are injured every day in Australia and roughly 200 have to be admitted to hospital.

• Superannuation, some life insurances, trusts and jointly owned property fall outside your deceased estate and therefore need particular care?

Would you know what to do? While many people have first aid training, all knowledge fades with time. The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends that resuscitation skills should be updated annually! The Save-A-Child course is run by a highly experienced lecturer and former ambulance officer. A 6 hour and 3 hour course is

But did you know that: • The correct choice of Executors and back-ups is essential?

• By including a Testamentary Trust in your Will you can provide your beneficiaries with significant tax breaks and asset protection? available. The course can be run in your home during the day, evening or weekend.

• Home-made Wills (including so called “Solicitor approved” Wills) are the cause of much litigation?

Contact Steven Lewsen on 9378 7745 or 0402 043 181 www.FamilyFirstAid.com.au

• Wills need reviewing in a wide range of circumstances such as: Separation and

divorce; any sale, mortgage or gift of the willed assets; buying and selling property; arranging your super and life insurances? • Estate planning for blended families is complex and has multiple solutions?

An alternative route to success in literacy

TToo oo o young yo oung Sch hool? for School? don’’t Buggless don’t k so! think

Frank Johnston, (former WA Ed Dept primary school principal) magine the best artists, actors, musicians, designers, architects, sportspeople, entrepreneurs doing their brilliant best, but struggling with literacy or numeracy. Even being told at school they’d never amount to much!

However, true dyslexic people who think in three dimensions, learn best when information is presented in a different manner. Dyslexia, (and associated dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia) the phenomenon of low achievement in basic skills in spite of above average abilities, now has a highly effective program available which can produce dramatic, positive and permanent results in a very short time. In 2006, business manager Frank and his wife Annette, while running an International

school in Peru, came across the Davis Program®, devised by its founder, Ron Davis of San Francisco. At first sceptical, they soon realised the program provides an effective means for children and adults who are visual-spatial learners to achieve significant success. Completed in one week, the Davis Program® provides the skills and tools to manage dyslexia so effective learning can take place. Since commencing the Dyslexia Correction Service (Dyslexia WA), the 35 people who have completed the Davis Program® with Annette, now a licensed Davis Facilitator, are evidence of the program’s success. There are nearly 500 Davis providers world-wide, and now one in Perth. You can call for a chat on 0479 121 163 or 0439 698 587 or email dyslexiacorrectionwa@gmail.com More information and testimonials are available on the website www.dyslexiawa.com.au or the Davis website www.dyslexia.com

The Fitzroy Readers hese seventy stories are themselves an Australian success story. They have been developed at the experimental Fitzroy Community School, founded by Philip and Faye O’Carroll (Philip was a lecturer in Philosophy at the Uni of WA in the early 70s and was already writing articles on education reform).

Publication of the Fitzroy Readers substantially boosted the return of phonics into Australian schools. They start with A Fat Cat, and work through to stories like The Inconvenient Puncture. By then you can read the newspaper, books like Harry Potter, and what’s more important, your secondary school text books! (Some schools also use them for early secondary catch-up.)

For most students, understanding and use of phonics, rote learning of tables and step by step instructions are some of the very important elements which contribute to successful literacy and numeracy. And most teachers in most classrooms skillfully put these elements in place so their students will progress.

KIDS INPERTH

The

Teach your child the importance of focusing his eyes, ears, mind and body. Focusing all four will engage them totally in the listening process. Make sure your child knows that when it comes time to listen, the first thing they have to do is look at the person talking. Finally, teach them about standing or sitting up straight when listening; if the body

is out of focus or slouched the message will not be clearly understood.

What is a Doula? his question is commonly asked by expectant mothers, first time and otherwise.

A Doula is an experienced companion who understands the emotional and physical needs of a woman and her family throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and early postnatal period. They provide continuous support (non-medical) and care for women throughout the whole experience. In particular, women in these situations have found having a doula helpful during their pregnancy: • Migrants without extended family in Perth • Partners that work FIFO or are away during pregnancy

• First time parents. Like any professional service, it’s important to find a certified Doula. Australian Doulas are a not for profit organisation made up of like-minded doulas that work within a Code of Practice to deliver care and quality support. Their website www.AustralianDoulas.com.au is a great information reference on how a Doula can help, provides real life testimonials and has a directory of Doulas operating throughout WA.

The boring square and triangle shaped sandwiches were replaced with dinosaurs and train shapes. All packaged foods full of additives and preservatives that are easy to put in the lunch box were replaced with homemade bread, biscuits and cakes.
