Breathe easy knowing your child can n award-winning home treatment for asthma, bronchitis, hay fever and other respiratory disorders is now available in Australia. Salin Plus is an innovative air quality medical device. 100% Natural and non-invasive, it is ideal for children and infants.

The device removes air borne pollutants such as dust and pet dander, and disperses a dry salt aerosol. When inhaled, it assists with the clearance of mucous and inflammation reduction, thus widening the airway for improved breathing. The antibacterial effects of salt reduce the likelihood of infection. Salt therapy is a complementary treatment that has been used in Eastern Europe for over a century, with great success. It’s now being adopted at a rapid rate in the rest of Europe, the US and Australia.

A listed medical device Salin Plus is listed as a medical device with the Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia’s regulatory agency for medical drugs and devices. The device was developed in Europe as a complementary and preventative solution for conditions such as asthma, ear infections, nasal congestion, hay fever, and bronchitis, as well as other conditions prevalent in adults, such as COPD, bronchiectasis, sinusitis and snoring.

International gold medal award Salin Plus was awarded the Gold Medal at the World Exhibition for Innovation, Research and New Technology. The energy-efficient device contains a filter cartridge packed with purified rock salt, which includes over 98% Sodium Chloride, with the balance containing other vital trace elements. The effectiveness of dry salt aerosol as a treatment was proven in a clinical trial involving almost 5,000 adults and children. Following a course of salt therapy, there was an improvement in the clinical state of 85% of patients with mild or moderate asthma, and 97% of patients with chronic bronchitis. Satisfaction guarantee Salin Plus comes with a unique 60 Day 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. The product has been selling in Europe for over ten years and generates sales of around 10,000 units per month. Salin Plus is available through selected pharmacies and natural health stores throughout Perth, Rockingham and Mandurah. It can also be purchased online with free shipping Australia wide.

Every child can shine with the Kumon Method ith NAPLAN results for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, due for release from September onwards, parents may be wondering how they can best support their child’s learning development at home.

Kumon is the largest and most established complementary educational business in the world, with 4.3 million students enrolled across 47 countries and regions. The Kumon Method recognises that each student is unique. One child might grasp one concept quickly, yet struggle with others. The reverse might be the case with the child sitting next to them. It is the individual focus on each and every child learning through the Kumon Method that has made this programme so successful since its inception close to 60 years ago. Kumon’s maths and English programmes work to support children in building confidence while developing a thorough skill-set for lifelong learning.

Students are guided through a tailored programme to build a range of skills at their own pace. Progress happens as children feel confident to take the next step, in a time frame that reflects their ability. As they continue to master English and maths, children develop confidence and a genuine sense of accomplishment – in this way discovering the keys to unlocking a love of learning for life. Kumon believes that: • Each child is an individual and has the potential to succeed • The development of basic skills is essential to effective learning • Learning should be non-competitive Contact your local Kumon Centre to find out more today. For information about Kumon visit http://au.kumonglobal.com or call 1800 458 666.

Blue Skies – helping children cope with death

WHERE WE GO

CARYN LEONG

ilver Chain, with the support of United Community, is again running Blue Skies; an innovative program for children aged eight to twelve who are grieving the death of a parent or primary caregiver, in the upcoming school holidays.

artwork@lassomedia.com.au

Now printing 76,000 copies per month, Kids In Perth is available every month at your local Supermarket, public library, places of family interest as well as online at www.kidsinperth.com

caryn@lassomedia.com.au

Accounts: Ana Kadiric accounts@lassomedia.com.au

Production & Design: MICHAEL BAUMANIS

Belinda Hughes, Silver Chain Social Worker and Blue Skies Facilitator, explains that the program provides a safe and funfilled environment connecting children who are grieving, and teaches them how to feel safe to speak about their feelings. “Bringing together children experiencing a similar life change reduces isolation associated with bereavement, and enables them to give and receive support in a shared creative environment.”

Printing: COLOURPRESS Distribution: nigel@lassomedia.com.au Proudly produced in WA

Parents of children who have attended Blue Skies noticed their children are more willing to engage with their emotions and have learned skills to express them. The next workshop will be held in Scarborough on 3-4 October 2012. For more information contact Silver Chain on (08) 9242 0242, Country Callers 1300 650 803.

When should a toddler start wearing shoes?

Save-A-Child first-aid course helps save choking child

hildren should ideally stay bare footed as long as possible. When they start to cruise by, holding onto you or the furniture you may require a cover to keep feet warm and safe. These foot covers need to be very flexible and non-slip. Non-slip socks are also suitable.

ost parents realise the importance of first-aid training, but often go years without doing a course or attend a course that focuses on adults and only touches on children.

Steven Lewsen, medical lecturer and former ambulance officer, has been running the Save-A-Child Resus and first-aid course for almost 20 years, and in that time has taught thousands of parents what to do when a life is on the line. His course covers topics such as resuscitation, choking, burns, bleeding, poisoning, allergic reactions and bites. Many students have used the information from the course to save the lives of their children. One such case occurred only weeks

Buying shoes should be considered after your child has been walking independently for approximately six weeks. Shoes should have nice flexible soles and be firmly affixed to the foot with a lace or strap. after the course ended and was shown on Nine News shortly thereafter. The footage can be seen on the website listed below. The Save-A-Child course can be run in your home during the day, evening or weekend.

urrently there are over 9,000 healthcare and medical jobs Australia wide advertised on Seek. The Institute of Health and Nursing Australia (IHNA) offers professional and competent training programs for mothers to enter the healthcare industry. Most IHNA courses combine both classroom learning with practical clinical placements.

redit cards offer flexibility and an efficient way to pay for goods and services. However, they can be risky.

Getting a credit card means entering into a credit contract. You will need to make regular payments to cover spending and interest. If you miss a minimum repayment when it’s due, you are ‘in default’, even if you are just a day late. The lender may send you a default notice, which gives you 30 days to fix the default. If it’s not fixed in time, the lender may take enforcement action against you .e.g. using a debt collector or starting court action. Also, if a default remains for 60 days or more the lender may list the default on your credit file. A default listing remains for 5 years on your credit file and is likely to

affect your chances of getting further loans. If you‘re having trouble paying your credit card debt, you are entitled to apply to your lender for a hardship variation. The lender has to consider your application and respond to you in writing within 21 days. Your application should explain why you can’t pay (e.g. unemployment or ill health), and offer the lender a realistic repayment plan. For more information visit www.cclswa.org.au

All work experience or clinical placements are at recognised WA hospitals, aged care and nursing homes to ensure the credibility of practical skills learnt by students and also help candidates land quality job placements after graduation. There are a variety of other training programs on offer for both already qualified nurses looking to register and practice in Australia, as well as for undergraduates like the Diploma in Nursing

(Enrolled Division II Nursing). Classroom contact hours are flexible and modules can be completed in as little as 5 weeks in Certificate courses depending on the student’s schedule. Group booking discounts are available for 3 to 4 enrolments. For more information about IHNA courses call 6212 8200 to discuss your study options or visit www.ihna.edu.au

Over 200 Montessori schools and centres around the country will be celebrating the Centenary of Montessori in Australia in 2013. Montessori principles have been applied throughout the world in virtually every socio-economic, educational and cultural setting to support the natural development of the human being from birth to maturity. The method has been validated by research

studies showing that students in Montessori schools have an advantage over those in traditional classrooms. The Montessori approach fosters children’s love of learning and encourages independence, building selfconfidence, inner discipline, and instilling positive social behaviour.

Montessori: 100 Years Strong

Sykes Music ykes Music is a way of learning piano that is fun and students progress quickly. They also learn to improvise, arrange, compose and much more. All Sykes teachers are qualified and trained and receive ongoing support, mentoring and training from the Program’s designer, Julia Sykes. There are many styles in the Sykes Music Program including classical, contemporary, jazz and world music. The pieces are enjoyable to learn and sound great.

By exercising the ears the Tomatis® Method addresses both the need to strengthen the sensory integration systems and resolving emotional issues, making children less distractible, calmer, happier and

more open to learning and social interaction.

Peace of mind is another good reason to get a Swimming Pool Safety Net. The net is a great kiddie catcher – if they fall onto it, it catches them and they clamber off safely.

EXPECTING OR

LAS1414/FEB12

Nyamup is 320kms from Perth,

The pool safety net is designed as a deterrent for children. The 100mm squares in the net are bigger than preschoolers’ (most at risk of drowning) feet but smaller than their heads. Children won’t intentionally go onto the net because if they try to walk on it their feet will go through (but their heads won’t). They stay well away from the net because it isn’t fun.

LAS1205/SEP12

approximately three and a half hours drive towards Manjimup. From Manjimup turn left onto Brain Street (which becomes Muirs Highway) then follow the Highway for 22kms and turn left at Nyamup Road.

The self contained cottages are the original timber workers homes, reflecting a bygone era. Cottages are fitted out to cater for a varied number of guests, but you’ll need to bring your own linen.

Holiday Village

here are many reasons for having a safety net, most importantly because it has a 100% safety record since inception in 1974 (no drownings). The pool safety net is a barrier between the child and the water – drownings happen at the water’s edge, not the fence line.

The Wilgarup River runs through Nyamup creating a wonderland of native flora and fauna throughout the village. Kids will love the wildlife, including Kangaroos and Emus which can be hand fed, plus the abundance of vibrant birdlife that can be spotted dancing amongst the expanse of trees.
