sticky notes
Miscarriage and your partner
• Communication is important between you and your partner to understand what each other is going through. • Find a way to keep the memory alive of your baby. • Joining a support group helps – you can speak to others and hear how they dealt with their loss. • Agree to give each other some space to deal with your emotions if needed. • Allow yourself to be comforted and held. • Don’t feel guilty about feeling moments of happiness again. • Last but not least, be patient with one another.
Family safety code words
Keeping our kids safe is our main priority in life. Teach your children to not go with anyone who claims they were sent to fetch them if the person doesn’t use the 'safe word' that your family created.
You can also teach the family what to do if you use a certain phrase or word if a situation feels unsafe. Keep the words easy to remember.
Getting rid of ticks
on your pets • Speak to your vet about an appropriate medicine for their weight. • If your pet has ticks or fleas, try using a tick/flea shampoo. • It is also useful to use a flea comb to help brush out ticks/fleas. • Bear in mind that if your pet has tick/fleas, you would need to sanitise and wash everything to prevent the eggs from hatching – this includes bedding, couches, carpets etc.
