The Holiday is Over!

Phew, the last two months have been a complete whirlwind taking over the reins of Mum’s Mail. No more lazing around by the pool or beach for me (which I did rather a lot since arriving in August) – the books are now gathering dust and the tan has finally faded!

We truly love this fabulous magazine and are so pleased to be at the helm. We’re so lucky that Mum’s Mail was here and waiting for us at just the right time and we have some great plans for Mum’s Mail, so watch this space.

Enrique (13) is very sporty – he plays first team rugby for his school, he is a gold medallist in Judo and he loves soccer. He has received a sport scholarship for Curro Hillcrest Christian Academy next year.

Joel (6) plays piano and has been learning to read and play piano since the age of five.

He is very talented musically and enjoys playing most instruments.

“Sandile is an amazing father and husband, we always do something special for him on Father’s Day – we can’t disclose what though!” laughed Nontobeko.

“Being a father is a serious responsibility and there are times when I have to love my kids by saying no to their demands, needs and desires. I constantly emphasise to my kids the importance of respect for all, regardless of gender or race, and to have a soft heart.

My job requires me to be away a lot, but my wife is very skilled in multi-tasking. I don’t know how she does it – looking after kids, work and business when I am not around!

She is our pillar at home – a mighty mom and wife!” concluded Sandile. www.mumsmail.com

Everyday Life

Teacher Training Inspiring the Teachers of Young Children Caversham Education Institute is a small yet innovative organisation that has a reputation for excellence in the field of early childhood development teacher training. The institute offers the accredited Higher Certificate and National Diploma in Early Childhood Development at NQF level 5, excellent qualifications for pre-grade R teachers or those who wish to open their own preschool.

We are Halaal!

Students of all ages and cultural backgrounds come with varying knowledge and experience. Some are principals of pre-schools or crèches, some teachers of young children, some are working in after care and some are just embarking on a career or looking for a career change. They all agree that it is the warmth and focus on the individual that really makes training with the institute special. They testify to professional growth and the impact the programme has on both their personal lives and their teaching.

“INSPIRING TEACHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN”

Another plus is the part-time nature of the training – students attend workshop sessions every second week and then take the knowledge and skills acquired to implement in their environment. This model allows participants the flexibility to work while obtaining a qualification.

The excellence of the materials and the facilitation, combined with the friendliness and sharing among the groups builds confidence and creates networks that ENROLMENTS FOR 2017 NOW OPEN FOR endure long after training is complete.

THE HIGHER CERTIFICATE IN ECD Caversham Education Institute offers Visit our website for info on training in five centres in KwaZulu-Natal and Professional Development Short Courses. has a centre in Cape Town.

Business Life

Winning Fathers In shopping malls, coffee shops and on the beach, you’ll see more fathers than ever before with small children. They are tending toddlers, taming teens and babysitting by choice. It’s a winning choice – for the fathers and for the kids.

In the not-so-distant past, fathers did not participate in raising small children. During the major portion of my working life, I have had to struggle to win time for fathers with their children. Divorced fathers were not even permitted to have children overnight under the age of seven! Now, dads are taking tiny babes-in-arms for the day – even for whole weekends.

What changed? More realistic thinking in society. There were also changes in the law. Many people, including lawyers, misunderstood the law. The Children’s Act of 2005 introduced changes – it also consolidated the law, bringing together many existing provisions. An example was the introduction of full parental rights for unmarried fathers. That was new, but right beside that in the existing legislation, there are a couple of sections that record That’s where you will find our IT solutions the equal rights of mothers and fathers.

This was greeted with great enthusiasm by • IT sales, repairs & upgrades lawyers, courts and even family advocates. • Server solutions • Internet “Parents have equal rights now,” they • Web hosting & design announced, when in fact, this had been the • Networking • Backup & maintenance case for many years.

BEHIND MANY A GREAT BUSINESS!

This ‘new law’ led to numerous court cases, as mothers resisted claims by men for more time with their children. Back in 1996, a judge announced, “men are just as capable of mothering, as women are – society has given them different roles.”

Some mothers still fight to keep fathers and their children apart. It’s criminal – children are the losers.

No Slaving Over a Hot Stove with My Chef My Chef is an online company operating 24/7 that offers a range of healthy meals delivered to your door every Tuesday and Friday and provides a solution for that busy working couple, new parents, family of four, single parent or student. My Chef offers healthy, delicious, easy to prepare, high quality convenience food in substantial portions, without burning a hole in your pocket. No box food, lovingly prepared for you.

So, get out of the kitchen this Winter and sit back, relax and enjoy more time with the family! My Chef delivers to the greater Durban area – Amanzimtoti to Ballito, and up to Assagay – the only way to know what you are missing, is to try it. And the bonus is you get R50 in loyalty points on your first order.

Well, last week I received my first ever ‘hamper’ of My Chef goodies and was very pleased. They couldn’t have arrived soon enough, as I have hardly been in the kitchen the last couple of months, much to my kids disapproval! They love Mummy’s cooking.

I ordered a whole range of yummy meals, from Chicken Chow Mein and Beef Cottage Pie to individual portions of Kiddies’ Fish Mornay and Kiddies’ Chicken Lasagne, which they loved. They ate their Kiddies’ Fish Mornay with great gusto last night – the only problem was that Daddy was waiting in the wings for any leftover scraps as I’d only ordered two! So I guess I know what I’ll be ordering more of next time…

My Chef is not only for the rich and famous. For more information visit www.mychef.co.za.

Healthy Food for a Healthy Baby As a parent and a teacher, Monique le Roux Forslund has first-hand experience of the effect food has on children. She has seen how sugar and other fast-acting carbohydrates can cause them to become over-active and struggle with concentration.

In ‘Healthy Food for a Healthy Baby’ she shows you how to give your baby a healthy and nourishing start to life. In addition to more than 100 easy recipes, appropriate for babies aged six to 18 months, there are tips about natural good food to ensure that your child maintains all-round good health. Although this is not a ‘low carb high fat’ recipe book, the recipes do not include wheat flour and sugar.

Become a Platelet Donor: Your Blood Saves Lives

World Blood Donor Day is on 14 June – did you know your blood can save a life? When you donate platelets you give someone in need of it another laugh, another chance, another birthday, another day.

components by centrifugation (spinning).

The platelets are removed and collected in a bag, while the remaining components are returned to your body. The donation process takes about 90 to 100 minutes.

What are platelets? Platelets are small colourless cell fragments circulating in the blood. When a blood vessel is injured, the platelets collect at the site and form a plug to stop bleeding. Platelets can only be stored for five days after collection, therefore frequent donors are needed.

Who requires platelet transfusions?

• Patients with leukaemia and other cancers undergoing chemo or radiation therapy.

• Bone marrow or organ transplant patients.

• Patients undergoing major surgery/ trauma. • Patients with aplastic anaemia.

To become a platelet donor you must: • Be healthy, weigh 55kg or more, be between 16 and 65 years of age and consider your blood and blood platelets safe to give to a patient. • Not have taken Aspirin in the past seven days prior to donating. • Not have taken anti-inflammatory medication in the past three days. • Have a platelet count above 180 000 per micro-litre.

Potential donors are screened to assess whether they are suitable to donate. If you meet the requirements, you will be contacted to set up an appointment to donate platelets.

How are platelets collected? Your blood is drawn and processed through a blood cell separator where it is separated into different

Bedwetting: Nocturnal enuresis is involuntary urination that happens at night while sleeping, after the age when a child should be able to control his bladder. Normally nerves in the bladder wall send a message to the brain when the bladder is full – the brain then sends a message back to the bladder to keep it from automatically emptying until the child is ready to go to the bathroom. The problem sets in when: the body produces too much urine at night, the bladder is too small/ irritable, the child sleeps too deeply, the child has medical conditions like diabetes, infection or psychological problems. Your GP will ask for a thorough history and start with a urine analysis and finger prick glucose test. There are several treatment options, ranging from a more conservative approach of no liquids after 6pm, positive imagery and bedwetting alarms to oral medication and/ or nasal spray.

Postnatal yoga uses movement, balance and relaxation to allow your body to recover from pregnancy and birth. It helps to heal the body and mind, and repair all the tissues back to their former glory. It is designed for mums with their babies and so incorporates the little ones into the practise. All the yoga postures in prenatal and postnatal yoga are modified and safe.

It restores your teeth’s ability to absorb oxygen, a capacity that weakens over time. WOW Whitening’s patented bleaching system dissolves stained molecules, restoring to your teeth their perfect white appearance. The system’s custom fitted trays are comfortable and simple to use at home. After an initial consultation at The Dental Practice, you’ll take your WOW trays home and use them for two weeks. You’ll wear them while you sleep, so WOW Whitening doesn’t affect your busy days. Just two weeks to beautiful, naturally white teeth!

Kiddies’ Indoor Play Centre with Restaurant • Child Minders • Party Packages Available.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP

The LeapFrog LeapBand is a kids’ activity tracker that aims to get children moving with a series of fun, physical challenges and games. It is both a watch and a wristband tracker. Kids run, jump and play to earn rewards and power a customisable pet pal that lives on the band. Ideal for children aged four to seven.

For parents, the controls on LeapFrog Connect make it easy to set play times, challenges and more.

How it works – The more kids run, jump and play, the more they earn rewards to power a pet pal that lives on the band.

Parents can preload 50 active challenges on the LeapBand to get kids moving, such as “pounce like a lion”, “march like an elephant” and “wriggle like a worm”. There are eight virtual pets for children to choose from. Every pet is customisable so kids can make it their very own. The more kids move, the more points they earn to unlock new pets and pet toys to play with.

Setting it up – Parents can set up the LeapBand by connecting it to their computer using a USB cable. They can then download the LeapFrog Connect application onto their computer, cell phone or tablet and use it to set the parental controls or upload more challenges onto the device.

Available at ToyZone, Pick n Pay, Toys R Us and Reggies stores countrywide.

Sharon Kuppasamy is the proud owner of the R10 million property and new Umhlanga franchise. Her attention to detail and wanting the best for each and every one of the children in her school is what made Sharon choose the Prestige brand.

The exclusive brand was established six years ago by owner and founder Judy Nieuwenhuizen and there are now nine Prestige Franchises within the Group – six branches in JHB and KZN and three new branches scheduled to open in 2017. This latest Umhlanga branch promises to be one of the most prestigious. “We will be welcoming babies from three months up to pre-schoolers of six years,” says Judy. “We follow a holistic and positive approach, with our motto being ‘Learning through Play’. Our schools are structured, but the fun, stimulating environment and the way we train our staff encourages children to play and have fun while learning.”

Prestige offers a warm, loving, clean and spacious environment for children to learn, develop and grow. Their extensive range of educational toys and equipment encourages children to develop inquisitive minds to explore and reach their full potential while embracing the old-fashioned values and ethics that are still so important.

Protect the Rights of Children The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland, proclaimed 1 June to be International Children’s Day in 1925. It is usually marked with speeches on children’s rights and wellbeing, and other events involving or dedicated to children.

On 19 August 1982, at its emergency special session on the question of Palestine, the General Assembly decided to commemorate 4 June as the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. The purpose of the day is to acknowledge the pain suffered by children throughout the world who are the victims of physical, mental and emotional abuse.

This day affirms the UN’s commitment to protect the rights of children.

Childline is an effective non-profit organisation that works collectively to protect children from all forms of violence and to create a culture of children’s rights in South Africa. Childline services began in KwaZulu-Natal in 1986 in response to the very high levels of child abuse. Other provincial offices developed from this date, with the national office opening on 1 August 2003.

Childline South Africa is committed to: • Developing appropriate social services, including a 24-hour toll-free helpline and supportive therapeutic social services for children who have been victims of violence, and their families. • Education and awareness programmes facilitating the prevention of violence against children. • Networking to establish strategic alliances with the aim of advocating for policy changes that will facilitate good management practices for abused children. • Research into violence against children within the South African context. • Ongoing training and development of staff members and volunteers.

Love the Babies in 2016

EST. 1994

Durban businesswoman, well-known designer and mum, Kathrin Kidger, is encouraging moms to support the Robin Hood Foundation’s Love the Babies 2016 campaign.

After having a clear out of the baby items she’s lovingly kept from her children, she wants to encourage the moms in our community to do the same. “I was so saddened to hear how the mums of these newborns have nothing, not even a blanket for their babies. There is nothing more special than knowing your treasured baby outfits will be bringing a smile to the face of a new mum and keep a newborn snug and warm,” said Kathrin.

“Love the Babies is such a great initiative, I’d like to encourage all the mums in our community to get involved.”

The Love the Babies project is the first project that led to the formation of the Robin Hood Foundation. Through this project, needy moms from AIDS affected communities are given a Love the Babies bag for the first year of their new baby’s life. It is essentially a baby shower in a bag. Included in these bags are towelling nappies, disposable nappies, second-hand and new baby clothes, booties, hats, bibs, blankets, towels, toys and teddies.

Master Quest Moments: Maths Madness from Zero to Hero Greetings fellow Questers! As promised, the journey to becoming Maths savvy begins now. Maths can be compared to a recipe or a build-it-yourself kit. You get everything you need – all you have to do is follow the instructions.

The key to Maths is to understand (the rules, formulas and what is required of you), and practise (Maths is something you have to practise persistently. Never give up, even if you have to do the sum a thousand times – that is how you learn!), and master (this comes from learning the correct methods and applying them).

Read the questions – the clues to solving the problem lie in the question! Don’t rely on the calculator to solve every equation – instead use your brain, it needs no batteries, will not get lost or stolen and will never let you down. When it comes to the actual sums, break them into to smaller steps and show all the workings – every step matters, and can show you instantly if you are on the right path or not. Every part mark helps you reach that goal score!

Please feel free to send your thoughts, questions, full articles, and requests to info@masterquest.co.za.

Onwards and upwards!

Funtastic Father’s Day Activity Why not spoil Dad with a whole day filled with all of his favourite activities this Father’s Day? Get the little ones involved to create a fun-filled timeline for a Father’s Day he won’t forget: • 8am to 10.30am: Let Dad sleep in while you keep the little ones busy with prepping a fun-filled waffle/pancake-bar brunch.

Instead of the usual tablecloth, let the kids draw/write pictures and messages on a large sheet of paper to add a special touch.

Use his favourite toppings in beautiful glass dishes as centrepieces. Remember the coffee!

• 11am to 3pm: Pack a picnic basket the night before with some savoury snacks and his favourite beverage, grab a picnic blanket and head to the nearest park or beach for a game of soccer/rugby/cricket followed by a relaxed afternoon in the sun. Add a treasure map created by the kids to the basket.

While Dad keeps the kids busy, hide his gifts at the pre-determined spots and hand him the map. Everyone will have a blast as Dad hunts for his carefully hidden gifts.

• 4pm to 7.30pm: While Dad enjoys an afternoon snooze, let the kids help you prepare some popcorn for a family movie night. Lots of blankets and cushions will ensure a snug, comfy environment, while homemade popcorn and hot chocolate will round off the perfect day.

Reptile Party Time The folks at Reptile Party Time are passionate about reptiles and as such have developed various programmes that are safe, educational and above all FUN! Their aim is to educate learners about these often misunderstood creatures and highlight the importance of conservation.

Their colourful, non-venomous snakes, gentle pythons, lizards and creepy crawlies will captivate the minds and imaginations of learners as they become part of an exciting ‘hands-on’ animal experience like no other.

They are well equipped to deal with larger groups and adapt the show to suit learners of all ages.

Here’s what educators had to say about Reptile Party Time’s demonstrations: “From the bottom of our hearts the Gr 4 teachers wanted to thank you for a spectacular show. You have an energy that the children just LOVED and they hung onto your every word.” – Amy Torlage, Glenashley Prep.

“Dean, thank you so much for the AMAZING visit to Hillcrest Primary last week. Both children and educators where blown away!

You have such a gift with reptiles and children alike. Please carry on doing the amazing job you’re doing.” – Jolene Goveia, Hillcrest Primary.

“Little Munchkins loved the reptile show and the fact that Dean allowed the little ones to participate and kept their attention was wonderful! I would definitely recommend Reptile Party Time to any school or parent.”

– Little Munchkins Pre-Primary.

Everyday Life

The International Women’s Club of Durban

The International Women’s Club of Durban is one of the many IWCs operating around the world. They are a non-profit organisation whose main goal is to bring together ladies of all nationalities to forge new friendships, learn about different cultures and to contribute to charitable projects.

Since their first meeting in November 2015 – where seven women of various nationalities took on this ‘venture’ – they have gathered ideas and experiences and started planning events, activities and objectives. The club now boasts over 50 members, has had two successful events, and is growing quickly. New members are most welcome to join and benefit from new friendships, as well as the various activity clubs which can make Durban a more exciting place to live. The clubs on offer are: Arts and Crafts, Book Club, Cooking Club, Movie Club, Travel Club, Sunshine Kids Club (philanthropic club in which they read to

underprivileged kids), Wine Tasting Club, Walking Club, Yoga and Meditation Club as well as the possibility of a Golf Club and a Games Club in the future.

The rest of this year’s functions are as follows: • 2 June 2016 at 9:30am for 10am – Domino Foundation tea at COGS (Church of the Good Shepard) on Mackeurtan Avenue in Durban North.

• 4 August at 9:30 for 10am – Women’s Day function at COGS. • 6 October at 9:30am for 10am – family picnic by the lake at Botanical Gardens.

• 1 December at 9:30am for 10am – Christmas/end of year function at COGS. For more information about the club, contact Jayne Herrmann on jayne. herrmann1@googlemail.com or visit https://iwcdurban.wix.com/iwcdurban, or find them on Facebook: IWC Durban.

Everyday Life

The SmallScale Approach for New Dads The days leading up to baby’s arrival were well planned. Speed things up and here we are, in the car, driving home from the hospital at 30kms per hour. Leaving the hospital with our new little addition is an overwhelming feeling. No more nurses on hand 24/7 – you can pretty much say that things just got real!

PETS FOR ADOPTION

TERRY male, 16 months

TILLY female, 16 months

SPROCKET female, 2 years

ASPEN female, 4 months

The feeling of closing the front door once we had arrived home safely can probably be compared to winning a challenge on The Amazing Race. We were home – now what?

Tip 1: Check the nappy – we had checked all the boxes but baby was still not happy, until we realised we had forgotten to change her nappy. Once changed, baby passed out immediately.

Tip 2: Get a heater – heat the room before bath time and baby will just lie there, enjoying the warmth, never mind the sweat dripping from my forehead, as long as baby is happy. Right?

Tip 3: Relax – everything is going to fine.

We tend to be on edge most of the time in the beginning… this feeling does go away, I think.

Tip 4: Accept help – family and friends will pop over with dishes of their favourite offerings. Accept this with open arms – they genuinely want to help.

There you have it, now go forth and be awesome!
