What can you do?

Eyecare for your family

By Dr Julia Solomon f your child is having difficulty in reading new words, or is just not reading, what can you do? You can assume that it’s just developmental delay and, in time, reading will ‘happen’.

This can be true for a lucky few but the research tells us that the majority of children who are not reading automatically between the ages of seven and eight will fail to learn to read. My more than twenty years research and practice has confirmed that, for the ‘nonautomatic’ reader, the English language itself is a major obstacle to reading acquisition. The ambiguities in spelling and pronunciation (think ‘through, though, bought, bough, rough, cough’) present an insurmountable challenge which defies the presumed effects of teaching by phonics, simply because English is not a phonetic language. Recognition of this phenomenon was demonstrated in the nineteenth century with a new written alphabet, providing a code for pronunciation of each word which still appears in most English dictionaries. While the principle of applying a phonetic code to printed English is logically sound, the

pectrum Family Eyecare is a family run Independent Optical Practice and Colorimetery Specialist Centre, and as the name suggests they care for the whole family from children through to their grandparents.

dictionary phonetic alphabet is unusable as effective reading instruction for most primary school students. Based on trials of a more practical universal pronunciation code, through the “Reading for Sure” model, World Literacy International has established a Universal Reading System (URS).

Their beliefs stem from their experiences in running successful independent practices in the UK for over 27 years. Spectrum’s prime objective is to care for the health of your family’s eyes, ensuring that they are performing at their best, and have the optimum vision possible using the most up to date knowledge of lenses and optical appliances available.

Developmentally structured, the URS, which can be introduced to children as young as two years, has proven to be an immediately effective tool for overcoming challenges in learning to read. The reports of Australia falling behind on the scale of international literacy standards reflect the alarming figure of at least fifty percent of children leaving school without adequate reading skill. The personal and social disadvantages are obvious for those who are unable to read new and unfamiliar words.

The staff all feel very strongly that patients should be offered the latest technology and fashion in both frames and lenses, using companies like Maui Jim, Silhouette, Rough Justice, Michael Starrs, Jono Hennessy and children’s Adidas, and Hugs and Kisses, both of which have a 2 year unconditional guarantee.

What we can do is change the future for those failing on the ‘one method fits all’, with the alternative Universal Reading System. Parents can then be assured that no child need be disadvantaged through failure to read.

Using lenses from Hoya, Essilor and Zeiss gives us the advantage of being totally independent so you’re able to choose the right lens and frame design for your lifestyle. Manager Paul Todd, a Dispensing Optician,

trained in the UK and who lectured Dispensing Optics at the Anglia Polytechnic University. Paul has been specialising in Colorimetery for over 18 years looking after adult and children’s vision, especially those with the symptoms of Visual Stress (a form of Dyslexia). With the use of coloured overlays Visual Stress may be reduced. If overlays prove to be successful then the person will be assessed on the Cerium Colorimeter Machine to analyse the precise colour tinted lenses that will be put into a pair of spectacle frames. Approximately one in five school aged children has an undiagnosed vision problem that could restrict their learning potential. It has been proven that vision accounts for 80% of the learning process in the under 13’s. If your child (or yourself) suffers from headaches, clumsiness, has poor hand/eye coordination, rubs eyes frequently, loses place whilst reading, avoids close work or has poor concentration, these are signs that you may be suffering from Visual Stress. If any of these signs sound familiar call 9399 2599 or visit Paul’s web site www.paultoddcolourimetery.com.au for more information.

Infant Massage Instructors are leading the way in treatment for Jaundice

Christ the King School Kindergarten hrist the King Catholic Primary School, situated in Beaconsfield, houses an innovative Early Childhood Centre catering for Three Year Old Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Pre-Primary. The Centre has been recognised statewide for its excellent play based curriculum which implements the Early Years Learning Framework, National Quality Standards and The Australian Curriculum.

ver 150,000 babies are affected by jaundice each year in Australia, a condition which produces a yellow colouration of the skin and whites of the eyes. When a baby has jaundice they have a high amount of a blood product called bilirubin. Extremely high bilirubin levels can lead to hearing problems and brain damage and prolonged jaundice can be an indicator of liver disease. A study conducted in Japan has found that baby massage reduces levels of jaundice. According to founder of the Infant Massage Information Service, Heidi McLoughlin “Parents of babies with jaundice, can learn massage techniques that help to increase blood flow and stimulation of the lymphatic system aiding in the collection and excretion of waste products from the body.”

The Infant Massage Information Service

Prospective parents are invited to attend

will conduct a 3-day workshop, training members of the public to become Infant Massage Instructors. Students will then run massage classes and take private appointments with parents. There are no prerequisites for the workshop, training begins at basic level and all are welcome.

“If parents are wanting to learn they should ensure that they work with a qualified instructor who has specifically trained in teaching infant massage,” Ms McLoughlin says.

Children are respected as holistic learners who engage in educative, meaningful experiences spanning all developmental domains and learning areas using a vast variety of hands-on resources together with state of the art technology.

LAS2268/SEP13

The information service has noted an increase in parents wanting to learn infant massage when their baby has been diagnosed with jaundice with some couples seeking classes and appointments during pregnancy so that they can begin massage as soon as possible after birth.

Children are nurtured and valued as individuals. Experienced educators respond to children’s interests and together they develop inquiry based projects to explore and investigate as part of the learning process.

The importance of school shoes

Pre-Nuptial Agreements what are they?

hildren can spend up to 30 hours a week in a school shoe so it’s important they’re chosen carefully. Busy parents need to make the time to sit down with a qualified fitter and have school shoes fitted correctly.

Pre-Nuptial Agreement is known in Australia as a Binding Financial Agreement or “BFA”.

If you have more assets than your partner and are concerned that if you both might later separate, your former partner may claim a share of your assets, then you may want to consider entering into a BFA with your partner.

Shoes should be firmly affixed to the foot (avoid a slip on) with a lace buckle or strap and they should have sufficient growing space (12mm). Buying too big can be as damaging as too small. Look for firm heel counters and padded collars. Soles of the shoes should flex under the ball of the foot but not twist. It can be tempting to go for cheaper options but school shoes are an investment and the better quality shoes tend to last longer.

Couples are already stressed when their marriage or relationship breaks down. A BFA allows a couple to agree between themselves as to how they propose the assets and liabilities accumulated during the course of their relationship or marriage is to be divided, without recourse to the Family Court.

For advice and expert fitting of school shoes visit the store that is owned by a Podiatrist at Magic Shoebox, 70 Eighth Avenue, Maylands, (08) 3371 2951.

A BFA is not a document that you can download and both parties sign. To be

binding, a BFA must address specific criteria prescribed by legislation and both parties must receive independent legal advice by a lawyer experienced in Family Law. Hunter Cook Legal can provide advice on BFAs. For more information call 6189 2901 or visit www.huntercooklegal.com.au

Charlie and Lisa need a caring home where they can develop daily routines with the support of a carer who has the time and emotional availability to help them with their grief and loss issues, and who can also take them to counselling.

MercyCare Fostering Services provides foster care placements in the community to children aged 0 – 18 years who cannot safely live with their birth families. MercyCare recruits, trains and works in partnership with carers who have opened their hearts and their homes to children in care.

Growth through self awareness

• Pre-Primary aged children & adults • Private & small groups

ounselling is for people who are experiencing difficulties in one or more areas of their life. Typically these areas may involve feelings of high-level stress, lack of confidence, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, grief, and loss. A range of feelings may co-exist, which can make a person feel confused or overwhelmed, when what you want is more harmony in your life.

Ian Dickson Ph: 9335 1115

Difficulties in these areas need attention in order to feel better about yourself and in your relationships with others. Counselling provides you with guidance and support to improve self awareness, and offers a place where you can develop the skills to provide you with solutions in a private and relaxed environment.

Storm Boy sets sail

A tranquil family getaway

olin Thiele’s Storm Boy has to be one of Australia’s best-loved stories for young people. Barking Gecko Theatre Company partners with Sydney Theatre Company to bring this timeless favourite to the stage.

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.

Nyamup is 320kms from Perth, 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.

Adapted by Tom Holloway and directed by John Sheedy, the play follows Storm Boy, who lives with his reclusive dad Tom in the remote, savage landscape of South Australia’s Coorong. Storm Boy navigates the waters and searches for debris and wildlife along the way he picks up some unlikely friends including the enigmatic Fingerbone Bill and a family of orphaned pelicans, including his favourite, Mr Percival.

Contact LJ Hooker Pemberton on 9776 0000, email pemberton@ljh.com.au www.nyamupholidays.com

Storm Boy will be played by Rory Potter. Actor Peter O¹Brien, who you’d know from the Underbelly series and Crownies, plays

yamup was established as a timber mill town in 1939 and ceased producing timber in 1989. Nyamup Mill Town Holiday Village is now a tranquil town surrounded by spectacular Marri and Karri Forests.

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.

Storm Boy’s dad, Hideaway Tom. Storm Boy will be presented at the Heath Ledger Theatre v- State Theatre Centre of WA from 21 September to 5 October. Tickets are available now through Ticketek www.ticketek.com.au or 1300 795 012.

Dealing with allergies

Allergy awareness

llergies are on the rise, in fact around 1 in 3 people (including children) will develop allergies some time in their life.

Rotowash cleans floors fast and safely

Hayfever can result in poor quality sleep, fatigue and daytime sleepiness. Children at school can do poorly in exams and often cannot recall information taught during class.

et’s face it, most homes have great looking floors when they’re new and clean, but they quickly gather stubborn dirt and grime which is unhealthy for the family, almost impossible to clean and often looks just terrible.

Many parents believe their children will grow out of their asthma and allergies, but while symptoms may improve, allergies can unfortunately last for years. Many children

with eczema improve by their teenage years but will often have dry and irritable skin and problems with soap and some cosmetics for life. These issues can be discussed with the pharmacists at Onslow Road Pharmacy. The friendly staff at Onslow Road Pharmacy always have the time to talk about the health of your children, including your concerns with allergies. They are open every day of the year from 8am to 9pm, phone 9381 8029.

Diet generally plays a minor role in the management of hayfever and asthma. While some children with food allergies go on to develop eczema, asthma or allergic rhinitis as well, taking children off wheat or dairy should always be done with a health professional. Preservatives such as 220, 221, 222 can worsen but do not cause asthma.

• Short one-on-one training (daily 10 min lessons)

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.

very year, Australian Doulas awards a Doula of the year award. The award requires clients to vote for nominees through The Australian Doulas committee while also sending in testimonials. This year’s award winner is Nicole Jones who resides and practices in the South West of Western Australia. She has been extremely busy this year supporting many women through their pregnancies.

Child drowning awareness and prevention inally true Survival Swimming is available in Perth! Infant Aquatics, Perth, teach babies how to roll into a back float on their own - older children are taught to swim, float, swim until they get to safety.

Stacy Gower of Infant Aquatics, Perth, is teaching Survival Swimming after years of watching children in conventional swimming lessons have a lot of fun but still not be safe around water. Swimming lessons have great benefits but it takes most children many terms, and often even years, of swimming classes to learn how to swim independently. Infant Aquatics, Perth, gives children Swim * Float * Swim skills in just 6 weeks, on average. Daily 10 minute lessons ensure children progress quickly to master the skills. Sadly, drownings happen quickly and quietly but children with the skills Survival

Swimming provides can float while they wait for help. See all the details at www.infantaquaticsperth.com or email info@infantaquaticsperth.com for more information.

Maths and English boost for all students Julia Gilmore (M.Ed., B.Ed.,Dip.Tch.TAE) Language, literacy and numeracy specialist

Why Montessori Schools have multi age classrooms unique aspect of Montessori education is that it recognises a 3 year age span amongst children. That is, children generally get along and relate well with other children 1 or 2 years older or younger than themselves.

As a result, Montessori classrooms are organised to include children both younger and older rather than of the same age as in conventional schools. Multi age classrooms result in positive learning outcomes whereby older children are mentors to those younger whilst younger children are more focussed because they look up to the older children.

s your child bored, struggling, lazy or just cruising through school with average results? Are you concerned with his/her academic, social or emotional progress?

Have your child assessed and find out what his or her ability levels are in maths, reading, comprehension, spelling and written expression.

encouraged to give lessons to younger peers, it solidifies lessons and concepts they previously learnt because they are demonstrating their knowledge through teaching. This also helps to develop leadership skills and encourages a sense of community. Exposing younger children to a multi age environment develops the important social skills and awareness of relating and respecting peers of different ages whilst still being valued as an individual in the group. For more information, register for a school tour or appointment. Your nearest Montessori program is listed in the advert on this page.
