Tackle toxic stress: Ensure safe, stable and nurturing relationships
|
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released a statement amplifying the importance of safe, stable and nurturing relationships as a protective buffer against the biological harms of toxic stress on children.
AAP has described their recently revised policy statement, Preventing Childhood Toxic Stress: Partnering with Families and Communities to Promote Relational Health, as a 'paradigm shift,' asserting the necessity to promote relational health and positive childhood experiences to prevent the negative impacts of toxic stress.

Engaging our littlest scientists: Aussie butterfly project
|
A child's natural curiosity is their superpower to be amazing mini-scientists. This spring, encourage the wonder of shared discovery by combining a citizen science project and a child’s love of butterflies. It's a fun, investigative experience for learning, and helps Aussie scientists better understand our environment.
Butterflies Australia is run by the Australian National University and offers a springboard into the magical world of caterpillars and butterflies.
It's like catching butterflies without a net, and it's a citizen science project that will engage children with a love of science, hands-on exploration and learning.
