Child development program creates a bright future CMAS WA was launched in WA on June 21, 2014 by respected Mayor of Bayswater Mr Sylvan Albert. UCMAS stands for Universal Concept of Mental Arithmetic System. As the name suggests, this unique program takes kids in the magical world of numbers.

It’s a child development program that was pioneered in Malaysia in 1993. Today they have over 5000 centres in more than 54 countries worldwide including the Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, India, China, Australia and the Middle East. According to the PISA report issued 9 months ago, Australian teenagers’ education is worse than 10 years ago. Australian teenagers’ reading and maths skills have fallen so far in a decade that nearly half lack basic maths skills and a third are practically illiterate. On the world ranking OECD AVG BASIS Australia are ranked 19th in Maths, 16th in science and 13th in reading. Australia’s maths performance dropped the equivalent of half a year of schooling between 2003 and 2012. So as a responsible parent, it’s our turn to seriously think about our kids and get them enrolled in UCMAS courses before it is

too late. UCMAS promotes whole brain development using the Abacus as a tool and mental maths as a medium. The program consists of ten levels that are each approximately 3 to 4 months in duration. UCMAS is a well organised and planned approach that helps the learners take baby steps towards a bright and scintillating future. UCMAS aims to challenge your child in new ways while cultivating creativity, multitasking and time management skills. It boosts brainpower and improves your child’s maths grades and overall academic performance. Above all, this unique program equips the young generation with the skills they need to improve overall academic achievement and to confidently meet the challenges of life. They have brand new centres operating all over Perth including Morley, Riverton, Canning Vale, Carramar and Winthrop, all taking registrations. More centres are coming up all over Perth. To book your kids in, or if you’re are looking for a great business opportunity call business manager Tarry Khetarpal on 6260 8985 or 0424 279 675 for a confidential chat.

PRICELESS

Divorce – what you need to know By Alison Brooks, Solicitor, Kott Gunning n Australia, divorce is a separate and distinct issue from property or children’s matters, and it is usually a relatively simple and straight forward process.

Divorce is available on a no-fault basis, meaning that as long as some basic criteria are met there is no need for parties to prove the other was unfaithful or give reasons as to why they want a divorce. Basic criteria – at the time of filing for a divorce: • At least one party is required to have Australian Citizenship, be domiciled here, or have been living in Australia for the previous 12 months. • You need to have been separated for more than 12 months. • You will need to satisfy the court there is no reasonable likelihood of resumption of cohabitation. If parties have been married less than 2 years (from the marriage to the date of filing the Application), they must attend counselling with a view to discussing reconciliation. If they still want a divorce, they must provide a certificate proving they attended counselling before the Family Court will accept their application.

In some cases, parties can regard the marriage as over but continue living together for a period of time. In these cases, if it has not been more than 12 months since the parties physically separated, it will be necessary for further affidavit material to be filed providing evidence of their specific circumstances. In other relationships, parties may separate and reconcile several times before their final separation. It is possible to reconcile for a period of up to 3 months after an initial separation and still include the time the parties were initially separated as part of the 12 month separation period. However, where parties separate then reconcile for longer than 3 months, they will have to recommence counting their 12 months from the date of the subsequent separation. Where parties obtain a divorce and have not finalised division of their property, they have 12 months from the date of the Divorce Order to seek the Family Court’s assistance with this. For more information please contact Loretta Carè, Alison Brooks or Kristy Vukovic on 9321 3755 or visit www.kottgunn.com.au

Resilience - can your child bounce back from setbacks?

Dr Lee is a graduate from the University of Melbourne and completed his Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2012.

esilience is the ability to adapt to stress and adversity. Some children are naturally resilient as their temperament helps them to be mentally and psychologically tough. Such children get straight back up after a disappointment or setback, and being rejected in the playground doesn’t seem to worry them.

Direction Psychological Services aim to assist children and their families who are suffering with low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and poor coping skills. They offer Social Skills groups for children aged 5-12 years old and

Adolescents groups for girls aged 12-17 years. The team also see children for individual therapy and do assessments for ADHD, learning difficulties and IQ testing.

leep apnoea, where breathing stops throughout sleep, is a condition that is growing in awareness. It’s an important health condition that has been linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack if left untreated, or inadequately treated.

ral health is a very important part of your child’s general wellbeing.

“Most parents don’t realise how quickly dental problems can arise and how detrimental it can be to their child’s overall health,” says Dr Sherry Wong, principal dentist of Lakewood Dental Centre. “It’s imperative to start regular dental visits as early as possible.”

She has a wide range of experience with children, from the Pilbara to Ellenbrook, to treating children during volunteer work in Vietnam. Dr Sherry and her Lakewood Dental staff at are gentle, kind, happy and patient.

Not every child is like this but fortunately research tells us that we can develop resilience in our children. Promoting resilience is an ongoing process. Parents and care givers can help by nurturing their children, not solving all of their problems for them, actively involving them in family discussions, decision making and problem solving, and modelling a positive attitude towards life.

He was a Research Clinical Fellow at Mercy Hospital for Women and also completed a clinical fellowship at Nottingham City Hospital in Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. In addition, he completed a Master of Business Administration from the University of Melbourne in 2013. Dr Lee’s fellowship encompassed all aspects of obstetrics and gynaecology care from urogynaecologic examinations with an obstetric focus to laparoscopic surgery.

Montessori education – ‘The Developmental Continuum’

SPRING 2014 FOR ADULT LEARNERS If you’re an adult there are a large range of courses that will interest you, including:

• Computing • Languages • Personal Development and Training • Returning to learning

Although Montessori settings are separated into multi-age environments, parent infant (ages 0 to 3), preschool (ages 3 to 6), primary, secondary and high school, completing with the International Baccalaureate IB), these prepared multi-aged environments present an uninterrupted series of learning passages – a continuum. Embedded in this ‘developmental continuum’ is a nurturing and guiding approach through the adults (teachers) in prepared environments based on seeing each child as individual, enabling children to work and become independent. Progressing from concrete and tangible concepts to abstract, using practical life and sensorial skills to flow through motor, socioemotional, language and numerical development - and as the child grows then further to cultural/humanitarian and scientific curricular subjects. Some other important Montessori concepts assisting in this developmental continuum are: The Prepared Environment: Maria Montessori’s concept that the environment should be designed to facilitate maximum independent learning and exploration by the child. The Montessori Materials (apparatus): Each material in a Montessori classroom isolates one quality. In this way, the concept that the child is to discover is isolated. Materials isolate different concepts: colour tablets for

Dr Montessori observed that when children are allowed freedom in an environment suited to their needs, they blossom. After a period of intense concentration, working with materials that fully engage their interest, children appear to be refreshed and satisfied.

Find a Montessori School

Through continued concentrated work of their own choice, children grow in inner discipline and peace. She called this process “normalisation” and cited it as “the most important single result of our whole work” (The Absorbent Mind,1949).

Other medications, cleaning products, alcohol, cigarettes some plants and insects are also common causes of poisoning. Take the time to “spring clean for poisons safety”: • Ensure all poisons are stored in a locked, high cupboard • Remember child resistant is not child proof – many toddlers can open child resistant containers

Summer is here, are your kids pool-safe

here are many reasons for having a safety net, most importantly because it has a 100 percent safety record since its 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 pool safety net is designed as a deterrent for children; it’s not a trampoline or something to play on, as the 100mm squares are bigger than preschoolers’ feet but smaller than their heads. Children won’t intentionally go onto the net because their feet will go through (but their heads won’t). They stay well away from the net

because it isn’t fun. 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. For more information call Rodger on 9335 6986, all hours, or visit www.poolcoversonline.com.au
