Does anyone else think that this year is really confusing? The days and weeks seem to go on forever, with no end in sight ... but some how the months are flying by! I cannot believe that September and Spring are already here, and the School Holidays are just around the corner. What a challenge these School Holidays will be, finding new ways to keep the little ones entertained.

Hopefully we may be allowed to visit the local playgrounds and parks to enjoy the wonderful spring sunshine.

With the release of the new children’s book series about Patch, (written for the Pat Cornin Foundation), Your Child Magazine’s is running a Book Competition to win one of the Patch books see page 10 for more details and page 8 for the book review.

Kids Corner this month is celebrating Spring and Father’s Day. There are two puzzles to do, a Backyard Scavenger Hunt (to get us all outside and enjoying the beautiful weather) and a Father’s Day Quiz - all about your dad! Kids in the Kitchen finds Darcy and Dexter, cooking up some yummy treats - Scrabbled Eggs and Bacon for a Father’s Day Breaky and Chocolate Chip Cookies, cause ... we just can!

With the kids underfoot all the time it is hard to find a nice quiet space for a quick cuppa and a chance to read ...so, on pages 16 and 40 we have some things you can do with your Kids. All you need is a little imagination, a few toys from the play area or a space and a break from remote learning. There is also a sweet story about a Little Turtle and his friends on page 22, that you could read together.

Wishing all the Father’s, Grandfather’s and Step Father’s ... a very Happy Father’s Day,

Glenda Long Editor

Who makes an ideal egg donor?

People often wonder what sort of woman donates her eggs and what qualities you should look for.

Donors are preferably: Ÿ

aged between 25-36 years.

Women younger than this may not be able to fully appreciate the implications of donating.

Older women are likely to have decreased fertility and therefore chance of success but may still be able to donate if they are fertile.

Ÿ

already mothers themselves.

Women who are mothers have proven fertility and can perhaps better understand the consequences of donating.

Ÿ

It is also preferable, although not essential, if they have completed their family.

Ÿ

healthy - physically, mentally and in terms of lifestyle.

Ÿ

motivated by a desire to help others. It is not legal to pay

donors; however, they can of course be reimbursed for travel and medical expenses. Ÿ sensible and settled. It is advisable that their life is fairly stable and that they have a good support network. If someone is recovering from a recent break up or has started a new job, it may be difficult for them to cope with medical appointments and procedures. Ÿ

prepared to be identified to the child, as Victorian legislation requires this.

You may have preferences regarding your donor's appearance or cultural background. However, it is just as important that you share the same views as to how your arrangement will work and that you 'click' with her. Remember that your potential child will be genetically linked with your donor, so it is important that you get along.

Be Wise -

Together We Can

The legacy of Coward Punch victim, Pat Cronin, has taken another important step to help educate young people in feeling empowered to 'Be Wise' and never use violence.

to get into the new school playground and how one child makes a wrong choice in pushing a playmate off the slide because he wanted to be first.

On 25 August, the Pat Cronin Foundation launched three inspirational and touching story books written for primary school-aged children that it hopes will be shared with every young student in Australia. Each book includes teacher notes and classroom activities.

The second book called The Four Square Challenge centres on children playing a ball game, which leads up to a challenge that takes an unexpected turn in the final practice game and leaves one girl learning an important lesson.

Matt Cronin, Pat's father and founding director of the Pat Cronin Foundation, said it is very important that from the earliest possible age, children are taught and learn to understand that physical aggression is never okay.

The third book called Footy Fever covers an important Aussie Rules football match in which Patch is captain of the Rockets and Maya is captain of the Sharks, both players in year 6.

While everyone on the ground was well behaved, one player wanted to make a name for himself at all costs and soon learnt a valuable lesson about teamwork.

The three books are written by Maureen Hyland who taught at Pat's primary school and was inspired by Pat in creating the characters, colours and commentary. They feature wonderfully expressive illustrations by educational illustrator, Bruce Rankin.

The story books form a critical part of the Foundation's Be Wise Education program by introducing children to its important messages of 'Be wise, think carefully and act kindly'.

All profit from sales of the books will go to the Pat Cronin Foundation, which honours Pat by providing an optimistic voice to awareness, education and research about the Coward Punch.

Each book includes a story around Patch, a boy who goes to Searchers Road Primary School, starting with him in early primary, mid primary and upper primary. Teacher notes and activities that are age specific are included at the back of each book and via a website link.

General manager of the Foundation, Geoff Smith, applauded Matt and Robyn Cronin who are determined that Pat's life be honoured and that no other family should face the devastation of losing their son in such a senseless way.

The first book called The New Playground revolves around children desperately wanting

“Pat was a normal kid brought up in a normal family living in a normal suburb. If this tragedy

“The books were specifically written to help reinforce that we all need to Be Wise when interacting with others and we need to think carefully before we act,” said Matt Cronin.“ The sooner children learn our Be Wise message then the sooner we will achieve our mission to 'End the Coward Punch'. Cultural change starts at a young age.”

End the Coward Punch can happen to them, it can happen to anyone.

“While we have an active secondary school program that informs students about Pat and his story, these story books are designed to reach out to primary school students to help them reflect on attitudes and behaviours around anger and aggression. The aim is for students to feel empowered to develop their own action plan to 'Be Wise' and to never use violence.”

Author's Note: A boy with little spikes of blonde hair, eyes that sparkled with curiosity and the cheekiest of smiles—that's the image of Pat that warms me; that breaks me; that inspires me. Pat was 5 years old when he started attending the school where I taught. I first met him in the playground, dressed in his blue and yellow uniform; this happy, caring, fun-filled little boy seemed ready to take every day of life in his stride—and he did.

The books can be purchased from patcroninfoundation.org.au and are priced at $20 each or $50 for the set of three. A 20 per cent discount applies for any schools.

While this story is fictional, I have drawn on my knowledge of Pat, his personality and his life, and included some features that reflect the young man being honoured in these books.

Background: On Saturday the 16th of April 2016, 19-year-old Pat Cronin went out for a quiet night. He was punched from behind whilst assisting a mate.

Pat was later taken to hospital and two days later his family made the agonising decision to turn off his life support system.

Throughout the series of books, I have used the name Patch for the main character as this was one of Pat's nicknames. Another of Pat's nicknames, bestowed upon him by his football coach, is Skipper. The owl in the story, a creation of Pat's, has been honoured with the same nickname. The colours of the school and football uniforms were worn by Pat.

Quietly spoken and gentle natured but with a fierce determination, Pat was enormously popular and had a deep love for his family and friends. His death left a gaping hole in his family's lives and caused devastation amongst not only family but also his friends and the broader communities in which the Cronin’s have been involved.

Every word in these books is dedicated primarily to Pat, but also to his parents Matt and Robyn, his sister Emma and brother Lucas who have vowed to ensure Pat will always be remembered. Inspired by a beautiful image every day—what a privilege this has been for me. - Maureen Hyland (Author)

Matt and Robyn Cronin are determined that Pat's life be honoured and that no other family should face the devastation we now face as a result of his senseless death.

Since the Foundation was established in 2016, it has raised more than $1 million with funds directly being used to help people feel empowered to make change through wise decisions.

K, I'll admit it. As a stay at home dad, I do occasionally feel burdened by the constant surveillance required for my children's safety. Being on guard for European wasps, dog poo, spiders, snakes and traffic can become an obsession of sorts, par cularly with pre-schoolers.

I don't consider myself a helicopter parent…yet.

However I do see an element of risk in many of life's daily events. “Remember, we don't pat dogs we don't know….use the bu er knife, not the carving knife….please don't play with bees…..don't climb too high in trees. Shall I take the training wheels off yet? Sorry, but if Bubble'o' Bill's ice creamy face hits the footpath again, there's no refund.” Some mes however risk is accepted and you learn a lesson or two.

excitement echoed across the park.

As a light rain began to fall, she stood up and started her return climb. However she didn't get far before falling to her hands and knees and sliding unhurt back to the bo om.

“Hang on, I'll come in and give you a hand!” I trumpeted, becoming annoyed at the fine mess I'd go en us into.

Lowering myself over the edge I was immediately weightless. Like a knob of bu er in a hot wok I slid to an undignified halt next to my three year old's delighted face.

“That was a super slide Dad! Do it again!” she enthused.

A er several a empts to climb out, it soon became obvious that we were in over our heads, literally.

Years of skateboarding and teen fury had compounded the surface of the bowl into an “Wow! Can I slide in there?” asked my daughter, unassailable cliff of urban ice. We needed a pick, clips and ropes to a empt the climb - not to with that look in her eyes. “Please Dad?” men on food, firewood and sleeping bags if we Looking to the gathering clouds, then down to couldn't free ourselves by nigh all.

Then it's in need of saving! home me, okay?”

On my belly, and remembering an inverted yoga pose I once tried, I clawed and bo om into posi on for the descent. In an strained, scowling and swearing as I crawled instant she vanished, like a marble into an empty bath tub. Giggling, she spun to a stop and backwards up to the rim of the bowl. With a final lurch and scramble I somehow managed to looked up at me beaming. sprawl out of that hellhole and then rescue my “That was FUN! Can I do it again?” Her daughter, dragging her up using a kno ed rope The park was eerily quiet with rain threatening when my daughter and I arrived.

At school pickup my three year old excitedly related the story of our internment to her sister, who then insisted we all go back to the park, immediately.

“Sorry darling,” I said. “Unfortunately the skate bowl is closed for renova ons. They're pu ng in an escalator for old skaters like me. How about we go to the pool instead?”

#whatweneedtodo The Campaign Michael Burrows a singer/songwriter initiated this campaign it is all about working together.

It's a community driven message and he has been lucky to be supported by Neil Mitchell ( 3AW), all the major TV and Radio networks and big brands such as Chemist Warehouse , McDonalds, Woolworths and more, including Your Child Magazines.

As numbers grow, now is the time we all need to get on with the job and do #whatweneedtodo The W Hand Gesture The idea is that W represents the 'We' element of doing this as a whole.

The W is about coming together as a unit not just as individuals The W is a signal of strength as two hands are entwined The W is something you can gesture to exclaim that you are doing this for the greater WE The Jingle

His music has been described as a fusion of folk, and rock Americana with hints of artists such as The Beatles, Wilco, Eagles and Ron Sexsmith.

From intimate solo shows to full band performances, his songs are deceptively simple about complex things: love, family, home, and trust.

Michael's new single Please Don't Cry ( ft. Neil Finn) was recorded in NZ at Roundhead Studios a few years prior as part of an experience offered by Medicine Mondiale. Michael knew that opportunity had to be his and grabbed onto it with everything he had. He won and got to spend two days recording with Neil Finn.

Neil chose two songs from a batch of demos and the final versions of these songs, especially Please Don't Cry have a warm and personal feel that Michael is so excited to share. www.brandmusic.com.au
