Family is incredibly important to me, making the Family Matters issue close to my heart.

Strong family values spill over into all aspects of our society. In effect, strong family values help build a stronger and more tolerant society. I have vivid memories of extended mealtimes during my childhood. Chatting, talking and joking with each other - times where we developed family anecdotes and traditions.We would spend family time together, be it going to church together, supporting school sports or visiting my grandparents for Sunday lunch. There was a lot of love and affirmation that I believe

set me up for a healthy disposition in my life today.

This issue is full of ideas on how to bond with family, projects you can do together and despite the crazy lives we all lead, how to make time for quality experiences.

What is important to realise is how many habits are formed from what we learn as young kids. Create as many positive ones as you can and your kids will carry these on. Where communication is strong and honesty is a given there will be trust and a feeling of safety.

Psychologists believe that a child learns the most in life from his or her family life. The way your family members interact with you has a life long effect on your personality and your view of the world.

Let’s make this a month of appreciating and spending time with our families.

Yours in wellnessDr Sean Gomes, Co-founder

Maximise on family fun by doing things together and having a storehouse of delicious experiences from food to massage and even bath goo.

SO SO EASY - Inspired by the love of cooking, and the desire to provide healthy and convenient meals, Cook Me put together a fresh and fun range of foods influenced by the Italian way of life. Cook Me Pasta Mix #1, 100g R4995 ; Risotto #1, 375g R7595 ; Couscous #1 - #2, 275g R3495 ; Salt #1 - #3, 375g R5295 .

FOREVER YOUNG - Busby Liquid Gold Pure Tissue Oil is fabulous for scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, ageing and dehydrated skin. Avocado, grape seed and rosehip create a natural healing effect helping the skin recover. Busby Pure Tissue Oil 100ml R63.95

PERFECTLY ROUND - I made these Falafels the other day and it felt so satisfying when they turned out so perfectly. Just Wholefoods Organic Vegetarian Falafel Mix is a wheat free mix of prepared organic chick peas blended with parsley and authentic spices. Have a middle Eastern evening and add pita bread, salad and tahini dressing. Just Wholefoods Organic Vegetarian Falafel Mix 120g R29.95

GOOEY & GOOIER - Families that play together, stay together. See if you can get Dad into a bath of goo. Gelli Baff is a two pack powder that turns bath or pool water into brightly coloured jelly goo. The good news is, when the fun is done, a second powder turns it back again to water. Besides having great fun, Gelli Baff cleanses and softens skin. Gelli Baff is also completely enviro friendly, biodegradable and doesn’t block drains. Now available with added aroma like popcorn, bubble gum and cola. Gelli Baff R89.95

HEAVENLY BLISS - If you leave a massager in the television room you can unashamedly bribe, beg or pay someone to massage you while they watch television. It has the most heavenly effect and you can always offer to return the favour. The Dolphin Massage Hammer features a roller control slide mechanism to vary the speed and intensity of massage. The Dolphin Massager R390

TO THE RESCUE - In my book every house has to have chocolate somewhere, even if it’s hidden away. Keep a jar of Honest Raw Chocolate Spread for emergencies. Calamities, tears, tantrums and all manner of things can be cured with chocolate. Honest chocolate is hand-made in Cape Town using raw (unroasted) Ecuadorian cacao. Honest Raw Chocolate Spread 155g R49.95

Buchulife Herbal Sparkling Water 500ml R14.95

Communication & belongingHow else does everyone know what’s going on in the family unless you communicate. Meal -time with everyone in attendance is a chance to plan or to jointly participate in creative ideas, to know who is doing what and to develop family traits and shared jokes. Sharing daily news and happenings, giving encouragement, praise and recognition fosters warmth, security and love and helps family members have a sense of belonging.

Instil a traditionA generation ago, everyone used to bake. Scones, cookies, desserts and cakes were all home made. An abundance of ready baked goods has almost made this redundant yet there is something so satisfying and homely about waiting for something to come out the oven. The smell of muffins wafting down the passage will automatically get everyone assembled in the kitchen. Pass down Grannies recipes, and make special dishes or foods a regular part of their lives knowing it will be a source of comfort and have positive memories for them when they are older.

Learned behaviour Kids that only ever eat by themselves at the television or eat junk food often don’t have the opportunity to learn meal etiquette and social skills. A disciplined setting with a structured routine goes a long way in teaching valuable people skills. Children learn by example so make sure you display the kind of manners you would like your kids to have. Correct them gently and with love.

Better nutritionWhen you prepare a family meal, you have total control over what your family eats. This means you can make it nutritious and wholesome. Take-outs usually contain high levels of sodium and saturated fats, unnecessary in freshly prepared home cooking. Kids will tend to have less of a desire for fizzy drinks when eating together at home. You can ensure the right balance of fresh vegetables and salads are available. Besides that, home cooked food carries the energy of love, which boosts its digestive quality.

Participation and learningInvolve kids in grocery trips, planning meals, collecting recipes and preparing food. A surprising amount of people have never been exposed to cooking or learnt kitchen basics. Even if everyone works or is at school during the week, choose a weekend day to involve the family in the kitchen. This will also provide a source of pleasure and give kids something to look forward to. Tiny tots can spend hours playing with a piece of bread dough, slightly older kids love the responsibility of setting the table while a teen who has mastered their own dish gets immense satisfaction when everyone praises his or her skills.

Increase food appreciationMealtimes can be used to introduce a wider variety of food and expand taste appreciation. Introduce a new food alongside the usual but bear in mind it may take up to ten trials before a child will accept a new food so be patient. Try out a new vegetable or fruit, a different spice or textures. You can also introduce vegetarian or raw food meals.

Sense of identityDifferences in food preferences, in mood, activities and personality is highlighted when naturally, each individual is put into focus. Kids learn about themselves when family gets the opportunity to comment on idiosyncrasies and unique attributes. This generates confidence and creates a strong sense of self. It also teaches kids to accept differences in others.

Encourage positive behaviour When teenagers know they have to present themselves at the dinner table every night, they are less likely to participate in destructive behaviours like smoking, drinking alcohol and taking drugs. Research confirms this with figures that show lower rates of destructive behaviour in families that eat together five or more times a week. A sense of responsibility to ‘show up’ and present yourself in an intimate setting makes it difficult to hide potentially harmful behaviour. This also includes things like anorexia and bulimia. Parents are able to monitor behaviour through close daily interaction.

Whether your family consists of two people or six, mealtime should be

a chance to bond, relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Research shows eating together has enormous benefits for children and teenagers. If dinner is impossible make it breakfast but focused family time is a must. Here are 8 reasons to make it happen.

Super convenient meals are life savers in a busy schedule. Couscous takes just 5 mins to prepare and can be served with tagines or stews. Or try slowly infused jasmine rice with delicate flavours of cardamon, turmeric and cassia. It tastes wonderful with a Cape Malay Curry or Bobotie. You could also add chicken to make a Breyani. Spice Pilaf is an exotic and delicate rice, flavoured with basil, cumin and a hint of coconut.

It honestly doesn’t seem like cheating when, the minute this pre-packed flapjack mix hits the pan, it smells like the best home cooking in the world. If you are trying to get the family up in the morning, just let this smell waft down the passage. What’s more, this is a healthy version of flapjacks that is also gluten free. Add healthy toppings and feel entirely entitled.

Tia is everyone’s favourite muesli with different varieties that include wheat free with or without raisons, nuts or sugar. Have it as a breakfast cereal or midday snack.

Wellness Warehouse Water is a delicious spring water available in still or sparkling. Drink it at home or take it out with you.

Soy milk is high in protein and a highly beneficial alternative to dairy. Use it wherever you would use milk, or drink it on its own, or spiked with chocolate powder. It makes a delicious smoothie base.

Most kids love pasta and will eat it even when going through a non-eating phase. This egg free pasta is rainbow coloured and looks great served up on a plate. Use leftover pasta in a salad the following day or mix it with some pesto and put it in a lunch box for school.

More and more people are finding that the art of food preparation and cooking is a great way to de-stress.

If you are the primary meal provider in the house, make it into something you enjoy. Think of kneading bread or icing cookies as stress relievers. Use the time cooking to get lost in thought and meditate or focus on manifesting dreams. Planning meals ahead, stocking up on ingredients and making your kitchen beautiful are encouraging things you can do. Get family members to help chop, blend or stir, and put on some up beat music. The better you feel while you cook the more good vibes you will dish up in your meal. On a television night, chop things while you watch and store them in containers in the fridge. This will make your next meal so easy.

Quinoa milk is gluten free, lactose free and preservative free. It tastes really good, is creamy and low in calories with high protein and amino acids. It is also easy to digest. Use it in drinks, on cereals and in baking.

HealthmakersSpirali R379

All families have a secret trademark recipe, handed down from Great Granny, it could be a dessert or a big stew dish but it’s so delicious everyone wants the recipe.

Of course, only privileged members are allowed. It is still the same except Mom halved the fat or the sugar; in Grandma’s day everything was full cream and pure butter. These days, kids don’t often spend time in the kitchen with mom learning to cook. Mom’s out working and food is often ready made. Bring back home cooking, make it a family affair and develop some more favourite secret recipes. No one should go out into the world without mastering their own trademark dish.

This spiral slicer is a lifesaver, especially when preparing lots of raw food and salads. It will enhance all your veggie dishes giving them a nice twist. Spirali has two interchangeable blades; use one blade for spaghetti, one for ribbons and the other for spiral strands - no more boring salads or stir fry’s.

DIY SUSHI

SET THE TIMER

JUICE STAR Impress your guests by making professional sushi at home. All you do is put the rice into the Sushezi belly and add your choice of fillings. Close it, compact it and push out a perfect sushi roll onto a Nori sheet then roll it up. It also has recipes for the most irresistible dessert rolls.

For accuracy and fool proof reassurance this timer is a must. A busy chef juggling a few dishes can easily get distracted. Knowing you will be reminded lets you switch off and concentrate on the next preparation. The graphic dial allows you to monitor progress at a glance, even from a distance, and when the time is up, a classic alarm bell sounds to attract your attention.

According to researchers, as stated in the Telegraph your choice of sandwich could provide interesting insight into your personality.

A study led by Dr Elizabeth Jones on behalf of Warbutons bakers in England interviewed 200 people and found 8 Key Sandwich Personalities. Those who enjoyed cheese and pickle were more likely to have a high IQ, while people who like BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato) on seeded bread areconsidered opportunists. Ham salad on white bread signified a ‘forward thinker’, beef rolls are chosen by impulsive people and egg mayo by quiet ‘home bodies.’ High flyers were more likely to go for tuna and sweet corn, while sensitive souls preferred prawns on brown bread. Extroverts chose chicken salad wraps.“Personality traits tend to go hand-in-hand with personal habits and routines,” Jones said. We might be biased but we think anyone who chooses a sandwich from the Wellness Café is smart, forward thinking and frankly, genius.

MAKE IT EASY Vitamins are vital to good health. If they are right in front of you, it makes it easier to take them. Vitamins offer the reassurance that whatever you might lack from your diet you can supplement in the right doses. Our resident health advisor Felicia Rubin suggests an excellent protocol for disease prevention and immune support. This includes a power combination of four supplements: Salmon or flaxseed oil; an Essential Multi-Vitamin; Slow release Vitamin C and for those members over 30 - Essential Coenzyme CoQ10. If you can get everyone in the family to take this as a daily habit you are bound to avoid doctor visits, especially during change of seasons and winter. Keep Vitamins in a basket on the breakfast table where they are easy to access.

BATHROOM BOOSTStock up the bathroom with healthy products. A drop of tea tree in the bath is excellent for preventing infections, a body brush will encourage brushing to boost circulation, natural earth-friendly basics will minimise chemical overload. Make sure everyone renews their toothbrushes regularly. Tiny tots can bath in rooibos tea bags as a mood relaxant. Teach kids to wash out the bath to keep hygiene at a premium. A great range to keep in the family bathroom is Sparitual with Vegan Spa treatments for hands, body and feet and Harmonising Soak Tonic for mind, body and spirit.

HAPPY HYDRATIONIf I fill up a litre bottle of water and put it on my desk or in my bag, I know I will finish it during the day. Get someone in the family to be in charge of making sure everyone drinks their quota. Line up sufficient bottles in the morning, one for each member of the family and make sure no one leaves the house without one. Once your body is used to adequate hydration, it will automatically call for water. Get your body into this routine and soon it becomes part of daily life. Make sure you use quality water, get a supply of spring water or use a good filter. For extra health giving properties add pH drops as an alkalinising agent. Bad bacteria cant grow in an alkaline environment and besides so many of our foods these days are acid forming so balancing this out with alkaline drops is a smart idea.

CREATE SPACE FOR MOVEMENTClear out a place on the deck, in the garage or outside that is conducive to working out. Having a skipping rope, a couple of weights and a punch bag is a great motivator for anyone to get out there and train. It is an even greater motivation when you pair up and egg each other on. Timing each other while you skip or counting repetitions or sit-up’s makes it more inspiring to finish a goal. Make a habit of going on outings that are active, Frisbee, hiking, cycling and swimming can all be done as a family. To enhance training and support muscles take Nature’s Choice Sport Ultimate Pre-Workout for optimal energy during a work-out. Another great supplement is Nature’s Choice Ultimate 100% Whey Isolate (Protein shake) which stimulates muscle repair and recovery after training. If your joints are troubling you supplement with Amipro Joint Guard for nutritional support for the maintenance of healthy joints.

MEAT FREE MONDAYSkip meat at least once a week, it’s great for your system, helps with environmental control and gives you a chance to experiment with more vegetables and grains. Go a step further and use Monday as a cleansing day limiting it to fresh fruit and veggies. Have lots of freshly squeezed juices, chopped up raw salad and fruit. This will clean out weekend indulgences and is an excellent practice in discipline and abstention. If you are totally vegetarian or vegan, make sure to supplement with B vitamins.

DOWN-TIMEHouses filled with chaos can be disruptive and stressful. Wind down with chilled out music, a relaxation area with soft cushions and books instead of television. You may want to burn calming aroma oils in this area or use a room fragrance or ioniser. Keep fresh flowers or plants here and use fun filled family pictures as decoration. This will remind everyone of the value of their family. Interacting with pets is also a great way to de-stress or lying on the grass and connecting to the earth. Water signs (Aquarius, Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio) should include visits to the sea, to rivers or lakes. Collecting shells and enjoying nature will be balancing and relaxing for these people. There is also meditation, walking in the forest or mountains. Hi-Potency Vitamin B Complex with Rooibos and Lecithin is excellent for stress, energy and enhancing digestion.

It doesn’t take much to consciously create a lifestyle that is life-giving and

uplifting.

From putting vitamins in the right place, to having a culture of exercise, practising preventative medicine, and doing regular de-stressing activities you can easily boost your overall level of health. When everyone does it, it sets up a spiral of energy that keeps the good health going. Mostly, perpetuating good habits just needs prompting: here’s how to set your house up to engender good habits.

Empowering your children to be all they

were born to beBy Glenn-Douglas Haig

We all know how challenging the modern world can be. In my book parenting is the hardest challenge of all, so I’d like to share a few skills to help bring the best out of your children.

Ironically, the first thing we tend to want to do, is teach our children how to DO stuff, but that is putting the cart before the horse. Being who you were born to be is not about the knowledge or business skills you acquire, nor is it about discipline and hard work. If you look at studies of authentically successful people, i.e. people with flourishing businesses, healthy bodies and solid, loving relationships, they all have one thing in common: they know who they are.

This might sound strange at first, because we assume that everybody knows who they are, but is that really true? How many people, including yourself, can you describe as knowing exactly who they are and what they want their lives to be like?

I’ll let you in on a secret – it is not what your children DO that counts, it is WHO they become that matters. After twenty years of InnerLifeSkills® work, we have realized that being comes before doing. How could an apple tree make apples if it thought it was an orange tree? Imagine what a tough time the apple tree would have if it spent its life trying to make oranges? Think of how many people you know who embarked on a career, and had to change it because it no longer fulfilled them?

Be very, very careful of shaping your child to suit the world you imagine he or she would be happy in. Rather spend your time exploring who your child really is, and over time, allow both of you to seek or invent a vocation that suits exactly who they are. This is no easy task - if it were, we would all have found our true calling years ago. But you have an advantage, you are awake and aware of the mistakes we made in trying to squeeze ourselves into a world we thought we had to fit into.

Surprise yourself and be curious about who your child is – ask them outright, or play a game around who they think they might really be, behind the face they show the world, and you will be amazed at the wisdom and insights they offer. Who knows? They might inspire you to be all you were born to be!

Sceletium is an African medicinal herb that boosts the utilization of Serotonin. It elevates mood and creates a feeling of wellbeing and closeness. It is taken for anxiety, depression and stress, for empathy, to feel calm and to improve concentration. It is also a good support for overcoming addiction, giving up smoking, drug rehabilitation and for post traumatic stress.

PhytoMulti recharges, nourishes and defends cells. It goes beyond basic wellness support with concentrated plant extracts and phyto-nutrients to protect cells and maintain DNA stability. It is enhanced with select bioactive plant compounds including lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, and resveratrol.

Lately, so much advice focuses on staying out the sun, yet one of our most important components comes from direct sun. Vitamin D, because it is totally free, is often under-rated yet it prevents a multitude of ills from osteoporosis and depression to cancers like prostate and breast. When sunlight touches your skin, your body makes Vitamin D. Sunlight’s healing rays don’t penetrate glass so you won’t benefit while in the car or sunroom. Sufficient levels of vitamin D are required for calcium absorption, without it any calcium supplementation will be wasted. Of course, we don’t recommend staying in the sun for hours until you burn but a healthy dose of rays will do untold good. Even if it is for only ten minutes, take a sun bath and soak up some Vitamin D.

Fight infection associated with colds and flu targeting the ear, nose, throat and respiratory tract. Linctagon Syrup contains the natural active ingredient Pelargonium Sidoides, used to treat the symptoms associated with acute and chronic respiratory tract infections.

Spray form means it is so easy to administer, especially when it comes to children. Linctagon Spray is an infection fighting mouth spray.

are the things that create heart-warming nostalgia.

Log recipes: Use a rainy afternoon to pull out all the recipe books in the house and get everyone to select meals they love. Tell kids stories about Grannies favourite dish, or things Grandpa hates. Create a file of all the favourite family recipes and write personal comments in them. Take turns in cooking everyone’s favourite food. When they leave home you can present them with a copy of the family recipe book.

Make art: Give everyone a stretched canvas and the opportunity for everyone to paint their own picture. When finished, these can hang in the passageway next to each other.

Learn code:Learn sign language together. There is a signage alphabet that is easy to grasp. This will teach compassion, and understanding for people with challenges or differences. Besides, you will have hours of fun signing to each other. Other fun things to learn are Morse code and the phonetic alphabet.

Dig in: Create a family garden by going off to the nursery and getting everyone to choose a favourite plant, tree or flower. Dig holes and plant them together, decorate the area with pebbles or shells and make each member responsible for upkeep of their plant.

Picture it: Print out all the digital pictures stored on the computer and make up a few family albums. It is so much nicer to have the printed out version. Print a few larger versions and hang family pictures around the house.

Keep a record: Scrapbooking is a great family project. You can make scrapbooks of anything from pressed leaves and flowers to mementos from a journey or holiday, to family events and happenings. Another great idea is to make a wish board with cut out pictures of everyone’s different dreams and aspirations.

GREEN LIVINGGardening with Kids by Marce du Toit

Even though the rainy season might limit outdoor time, keep your green fingers from turning blue with fabulous winter gardening ideas from Marce du Toit.

KEEP PLANTING: Find new ways to plant. Make container planting exciting by enlisting help from the kids. Turn boring plastic or ceramic pots into works of art by decorating with paint, mosaic, old fabric, leaves, twigs and shells. Get creative by scouring the house for unwanted objects you can turn into beautiful, practical containers: old boots, buckets, wheelbarrows, baskets, crates, tyres and even baths make novel containers. Try mounted, vertical or hanging gardens or be adventurous and see it as the perfect time to build a greenhouse. All these activities embody the reduce, re-use and recycle mantra.

PERFECT PROPS: Grab the kids and have them help you paint garden stones; wonderful for decorating or identifying your veggies.

BIRD LIFE: Turn an old sink into a birdbath or build an animal/bird feeder to attract wildlife into your garden.

SO EDGY: Re-use old bottles to make attractive edging for your plant beds.

SANDMAN CAN: Build a sandbox or leave an area for kids to dig and play in.

MAKE A PLAN: Start planning your vegetable or flower bed for next season.

STOCK UP: Stock up on seeds and supplies, work out what you need for your ideal garden

SOIL SMART: Mulch to keep soil temperatures high, this will help prevent root rot and disease during colder months.

MAKE IT NEAT: Clean up your garden tools and shed, put hooks or nails up to hang things and tidy out seed boxes.

START PLANTING: As for which plants to use in winter, I recommend a trip to your local nursery. Here you will pick up invaluable information and expert advice on what to plant where, when and how.

Having experiences as a family creates bonds between the

members, generates more humour and builds a high level of loyalty and caring.

Playing together also opens up communication lines where issues and disputes can be aired and resolved more easily. If love and support comes from the family, kids are better positioned to get into healthy relationships later on in life. Kids love to go through experiences they have had, you will often find them exclaiming exuberantly: “Remember when we went kite flying”. What follows could be anything from washing the dog, playing hopscotch, swimming in a river, baking cookies, the

important thing is the stored memory. These events can all be recalled on days when positive reinforcement is required.

Personalise family days: Make Birthdays and Holy days more memorable by stamping them with a distinctive family trait. This could be cooking a traditional dish, lighting candles, filling in a scrapbook, taking an annual picture in the same place or whatever is appropriate for your family. Having a ceremony of some sort cements positive associations with family life. How often do you hear people say, “Every year, on my Birthday my mother used to wake me up with a song,” or whatever the ritual might have been. Those

"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to

you, as you are to them."- Desmond Tutu

Simply Green is South Africa's premier bi-monthly green lifestyle magazine, providing positive and practical steps to cleaner living for people who want to make a difference but don't want to compromise on lifestyle.

As winter creeps into our lives, it’s time to look at various options to ‘green’ and warm our homes for the cold and wet winter months. Here are 5 eco tips to help you get started.

Insulate your windowsInvest in a simple window kit for indoor use. This is an insulated plastic that anyone can apply to windows to seal out the cold air and leaks. It helps prevent heat loss, conserves energy and will help your home retain the heat for longer.

Install a programmable thermostat This will retain an even temperature and prevent residents constantly adjusting it by turning it up when cold and then down again when it is too warm. This is one of the most eficient green living tips when it comes to controlling the cost of heating.

Insulate your water heaterBy turning down the water heater by 3 degrees and investing in an insulation blanket, you will still be able to enjoy the same hot shower every morning before work. It uses less energy to keep the water at a wonderful temp when properly insulated. It is a low cost investment that will bring back high returns in the end.

Invest in green plants Green plants help to recycle and freshen the air you breath all winter long. Once your home is sealed, you need the plants to help remove toxins and stale air. You will feel better emotionally and physically with the addition of living plants in your home.

did you know?There is always a reason for problem

Keeping your life balanced requires attention and focus in many different areas, having a hobby is encouraged by mental health professionals as an excellent way to reduce stress levels and maintain this balance.

Hobbies can provide an outlet for creative urges and help you discover talents you may not be aware of. They also provide a sense of accomplishment without stress getting in the way. Use them to broaden your social life by joining clubs or going to meetings and sharing your tips and passion with others. Cooking, gardening, reading, photography, beading, painting and crafting are hobbies with high enjoyment. Choose something you feel drawn to, whether adventure sport or stamp collecting.

For that reason in particular it is highly important for them to make

sure they squeeze in some me-time and exercise is the best way to do that.

Barre Body is an exercise routine, recently launched in South Africa, and is the quickest, most effective way to get results from your precious hour of exercise.

Barre Body is where the ballet barre meets Yoga & Pilates. This total body conditioning technique combines the grace of the ballet barre with the wisdom of yoga and the strength of Pilates – an intense workout, guaranteed to transform and sculpt your entire body and assist time pressed moms to acheive maximum results.

The classes are choreographed to excellent music in a fun, supportive and high-energy

environment. However, the technique protects your joints, as it doesn’t involve any bouncing or jumping.

The combination of strengthening, conditioning and toning works on the areas of the body all women struggle with: abs, hips, seat and arms. Of course it is also suitable for men and provides targeted muscle strength.

Classes are created to be entirely functional, every movement has intelligence behind it. Barre Body also strengthens the body in a way that supports how we live in the world. Picking up heavy bags, groceries and children place a high demand on the body and the sequences place a strong emphasis on finding balance and becoming flexible and strong.

While Barre Body is not a whole family activity, the studio is a place where mothers can take time out for themselves or bring along their teenage daughters.

If post baby bulges are proving hard to shake off, Barre Body exercise is just the fix you need. New mom Marni Rosenthal Chaikin says, “My abs went back to their pre baby appearance and, perhaps more importantly, I was able to slide back into my pre baby clothes including my jeans. It’s so effective at targeting areas that women tend to lose control of while carrying a baby. About 4 weeks after delivery and with my doctor’s clearance, I went back to taking class and it felt so amazing”.

The initial tendency is to want an immediate happy and functioning

family – this is unlikely to happen instantaneously and is unfair to expect.

Anticipate leaving a period of time for adjustment, children will show you how slow or fast to go as you get to know them. Some kids will need extra time to warm up to you. Kids will spot it immediately if you try too hard or if you are not authentic, or if guilt makes you overcompensate. Aim to be respectful and attentive remembering that the kids don’t actually want to hate you even if they say so or it seems that way at first.

Use patience, time and insight to make the transition easier. Although kids of different ages and personalities will react differently, remember that all kids have basic needs and wants. Do your best to fulfil these needs and you have the foundation for a great relationship. Here are some basic needs to consider.

eco mom & babylovewell

Remember, step-kids don’t actually want to hate you, even if they say so, or it seems that way at first.

Blending families together with an assortment of step-parents and step-children can be highly challenging.



movewellSecurity & consistency:Children want to know their caretakers are dependable and reliable. Kids whose parents have divorced are likely to feel let down. Be consistent in what you say and do and keep any promises you make.

Love & affection: Even the stormiest children want love. If you are a parent, give your children visible affection and love, if a new step-parent, offer verbal confirmation rather than hugs and kisses until you are sure they are ready for closer contact.

Recognition & value: Engage kids in decisions and tell them about plans, events and happenings. Let them feel they are important and considered. Make space for them to speak their minds. Car journeys often present an environment that makes it easy for kids to speak about their issues or worries.

Praise & encouragement: A child may pretend not to hear you or value your comments but essentially all children need honest praise and encouragement. This is the basis for growing self-esteem.

Honesty & openness: Kids are expert at sniffing out dishonesty. Don’t think you will ever pull the wool over their eyes; they are incredibly sharp and always know more than you think. Discuss things with them simply and truthfully. This will make it easier for them to trust you.

Knowledge of boundaries:Firm consistent rules and boundaries make kids feel secure. You may want to put up a list of house rules so kids know what’s expected of them. Knowing these rules apply to both sets of kids will help dispel feelings of unfairness.

Winter Eco Tips for the Familyby Nicole Sherwin, editor of the SImply Green magazine

• Insulate your windows, Install a programmable thermostat, Insulate your water heater, Invest in green plants.

Teach kids good grooming and hygiene that will stay with them for

life. Personal cleanliness is a habit that should be taught from an early age, it helps children to learn to take pride in their appearance, to stay healthy and look after themselves. Here are some pointers to get you started:

Wash those hands:

Washing hands regularly is the best way to keep germ-free. Teach your child to wash their hands after using the bathroom, before they eat, after playing with an animal and whenever they think they may be dirty. Ideally people should wash their hands with warm water and enough soap to create lather for about 20 seconds. Encourage your child to wash their hands for long enough by getting them to sing a ‘handwashing’ song.

Make bath-time fun:

Children should bathe at least once daily, unless they are more active or messy. Not all children enjoy getting clean, so if you struggle to get your child into the bath, make it as fun as possible. Innovative bath toys, fun wash clothes and sponges, music or even reading to them while bathing will get them more excited about bath-time. Get your child to bath at the same time every day, so it becomes part of their daily routine. Don’t forget to clean ears, use a wash cloth for behind ears and earbuds for all the other nooks and crannies but avoid poking into the ear.

Keep teeth clean:

Teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, for three minutes at a time, and preferably after every meal. When your child is under 6 years, it is still best to help them with brushing their teeth, so you can help teach them to include all their teeth. An electric toothbrush and toothpaste they like will help encourage them to clean their teeth more effectively. If they have eaten a lot of sweets, get them to rinse out their mouths.

Flossing is difficult for younger children; you will need to help them until they can do it themselves. Get them into a habit of using floss before they brush, some dentists say flossing is even better than brushing. Take kids to the dentist regularly from early on in their lives. Make sure your dentist doesn’t use mercury fillings.

Clip away dirt:

Even with regular washing, germs can hide and breed under nails. Discourage nail biting and keep your child’s hand and toe nails free from dirt by clipping them regularly. If nails are left to get too long, children may end up scratching themselves or other children and this can lead to infections.

Care for hair:

Washing, brushing and trimming hair is a vital part of grooming. Often children don’t enjoy having their hair washed. Incorporate hair washing during bath time and make it as enjoyable as possible. Add a good conditioner to avoid knots and use a wide tooth comb to brush through wet hair. Make sure hair is thoroughly dry before bedtime. Keep hair length manageable with regular trims. If you are doing it yourself, invest in a good pair of scissors or take them to a salon.

Choose natural and fun products:

When shopping for your child’s bath and body products opt for brands with 100% natural ingredients. Small children often swallow toothpaste and bath water by accident, so make sure they aren’t consuming any nasties. This will give you peace of mind and is better for their well-being. Also choose products made specifically for children and have bright, fun packaging. This will help encourage your child to use them.

Teach by example: The simplest way to teach your child good grooming and hygiene habits is to practice them yourself.

Children naturally want to do what their parents do and will often mimic what they see. Take time to show your child what you do. Let them brush their teeth while you brush yours, show your child how you wash your hands, take your child to the salon when you get a trim. Paint little girls nails with a natural colour, make a ritual out of putting on body cream or oil and let them copy you. At the same time, let them get dirty and play hard as this is an important part of their development.

Wellness Warehouse is proud to introduce a range of organic spices sourced from the very best suppliers in India and packed locally.

Spices enhance and enrich food with medicinal, digestive and taste enhancing properties.
