Kia ora,
Well, the Matariki Celebration we had in Whangārei “Puanga with Pio-Building Awesome Whānau” was an absolute pleasure. It was a privilege to work with our community and organisations to bring everyone together. A big thank you to VOYCE – Whakarongo Mai, Jigsaw North, and E TūWhānau ngā Kiamahi Toa. Also, thank you to my beautiful, talented cousin (Aunt actually) who performed waiata from her children’s books; June Pitman-Hayes “Who are the Stars of this Show?”
Lastly, thank you, the caregivers! You’re the ones whose hearts and homes are opened to tamariki and mokopuna to enable them to be awesome…Tēnā Koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā Koutou Katoa, Ngā mihi mahana, Ngā mihinui.

Training
We have new training developed by Caring Families Aotearoa starting next term. Please keep an eye on your emails which will have the details for you to sign up. I am really excited about the new topics we are offering.
The first up next term is “What’s Behind the Behaviour – Healing Centred Engagement”. This newly developed training explores the importance of emotional connection with children. The idea is to parent in a way that meets the behavioural, developmental, and therapeutic needs of the child. This DDP informed workshop has an emphasis on ‘connection with correction’ to provide a secure and safe base for the child. I look forward to seeing you there!
