Editor’s Notice Board Welcome to the September 2015 issue of Your Child in Whittlesea! We are in the final stretch of 2015! Another school holidays will soon be upon us. Your local library has a full school holiday program this Sept/Oct with the theme of “Weird Science”. See a full listing on our What’s On in Whittlesea section on page 24. I have recently found some great children’s books that build emotional & psychological resilience in young kids, while giving them valuable life skills that would enhance their lives through to adulthood. If you would like to positively influence your children’s psychological & emotional health, here are some recommended titles, some of which are available at your local library. “I Think, I Am: Teaching Kids the Power of
Affirmations” by Louise Hay (2008) For Ages 3-7 “Have You Filled A Bucket
Today? A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids” by Carol McCloud (2006) For Ages 4-9 “The Mastery Club” by Liliane Grace For Ages 9-15
Let us know what you think! Happy Reading!

What do you get if you cross a kangaroo with a sheep? A woolly jumper! What is small, cute, cuddly and purple? A Koala holding its breath! Why did the Emu cross the road? To prove he wasn’t chicken! Why do Kangaroo Mums hate wet weather? Because their Joeys have to play inside! Why did the cockatoo sit on the clock? So he would be on time!
Just for fun........... a Silly Limerick I arrived at the Hotel Bel Vue with my Kanga and motorbike too. Said the Doorman “Good day Am I right when I say That you‛re needing a vroom with a roo?
