 Toys and kids: they’re words that just seem to go together. And visiting a toy shop or the toy aisle of the local department store with our kids is one of the fun parts of being a parent. But once inside that toy store the battle begins. Which toy? How many? How often?

Most of us are fairly happy to forego the all-night dancing on tables and partying till the wee small hours in favour of a good night’s sleep in our own bed.

 Wouldn’t life be boring if we all did things the same way? While this is hard to remember when you’re in the middle of a vociferous ‘difference of opinion’ with your parenting partner it stands to reason that kids benefit from experiencing life through many sets of eyes rather than a single shade of beige. This month Chris Howe and Jayne Kearney look at why being different isn’t a bad thing.

 “Babywearing" means holding or carrying a baby or young child using a baby carrier. Holding babies is natural and universal; baby carriers make it easier and more comfortable, allowing parents and caregivers to hold or carry their children while attending to the daily tasks of living.
Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA), Newcastle Attachment Parenting and Hunter Home and Natural Birth Support will be celebrating International Babywearing Week tomorrow, Wedneday 6th October, 10am at Jesmond Park. For anyone interested in babywearing or all current babywearers of Newcastle and the Hunter, bring a picnic lunch, all your slings/carriers/wraps and find out how to use them safely and effectively.
Hunter Home and Natural Birth Support, ABA and Newcastle Attachment Parenting are active community groups within Newcastle and the Hunter that support over 500 families annually.
For further information please contact Chrissy Grainger (coordinator of Hunter Home and Natural Birth Support)
