DOWNLOAD EBOOKImagine you are in an unfamiliar country or situation. Would the confidential support and encouragement of another person having been through a similar experience be of help? The DAFFODIL (Dial A Family Friend Or Dial In Line) programme was developed as a communication network run by volunteers - mothers wanting to support other young mothers separated from family and friends. This network, led by Sister Denise Latto PSM, lobbied Government agencies and businesses on behalf of parents and built trust, friendships and communities for new families making their homes in Salisbury, South Australia during the 1980s. The founder of the group and author of this book offers the reader the same handy hints, recipes and simple remedies she gave to all parents during her time as a community child health nurse.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“When we were children we made our own fun” is a frequent comment from those who were children in pre-television times. But what games, activities and amusements did children enjoy prior to the mid-1950s? Recollections of older Canadians, selections from writings by Canadian authors and letters written to the children’s pages of agricultural publications indicate that for most children play was then, as now, an essential part of childhood. Through play, youngsters developed the physical, mental and emotional skills that helped them cope with life and taught them to get along with other children. In both rural and urban settings, children were generally free to explore their environment. They were sent outdoors to play by both parents and teachers. Their games were generally self-organized and physically active, with domestic animals acting as important companions and playmates. Children frequently made their own toys and equipment, and, since playing rather than winning was important, most children were included in games. Special days, holidays and organizations for children and youth provided welcome breaks from daily routines. Their lives were busy, but there was always time for play, always time for fun. Norah Lewis has provided an entertaining view of the toys, games and activities in Canada and pre-confederate Newfoundland from approximately 1900 through 1955. Her book will be of interest to historians, educators and sociologists, as well as anyone who lived through, or wants to know more about,those early years in Canada, and the games children used to play.

At the helm was Inez, the matriarch. Although she was known for raising other family members children, she didnt raise one, her first born child, Champagnes own mother. Champagne sets out to explore the tradition of raising others children, the meaning behind it all, the revealing stories of acceptance, rejection, and saving face. Champagne inspires others to write their family story, as a way to preserve history for future generations. As you reunite with your past and learn to value your connections, you will understand, embrace, and connect to your past, as you journey into the future. It was the great philosopher Socrates who said, The unexamined life is not worth living.
