Hello
My name is Jenny Brown and i'm a PhD student at the university of Canterbury. I'm conducting research into the effects ongoing earthquake insurance claims have on mental wellbeing. I would greatly appreciate it if you could inform people of my study so they can take part if they are interested. Anyone can take part, including those who haven't had ongoing claims. It involves a 25 minute anonymous survey, once completed participants can leave their email and go into the draw to win one of eight $50 westfield vouchers.

The link for the survey is here canterbury.qualtrics.com.... It is an anonymous link that takes participants to the start of the survey. I welcome everyone to take the survey even if they do not have an ongoing insurance claim.

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The way you parent has little effect on post-traumatic stress your children may be experiencing, research shows.

University of Canterbury researcher Dr Kathleen Liberty says parenting styles account for about 2 to 5 per cent of the variance in childhood post-traumatic stress disorder.

This knowledge should reassure parents who believe their children's trauma and anxiety arises from the stress the Canterbury earthquakes have placed on many families, and remind schools dealing with quake-affected children not to engage in "parent shaming", Liberty says.

Consultation has begun on whether the Reserve Act classification on Kyle Park should be changed to allow new community facilities to be built on the site.

Christchurch City Council wants to use part of Kyle Park to build the new Hornby library, customer services and leisure centre.

However, the Kyle Park Management Plan and the reserve classification of the park need to change before any development can occur there.

The changes, if approved, will only apply to the north-east corner of the park, adjacent to Waterloo Road and Smarts Road.

The public have until Monday 15 April to make submissions on the proposed changes.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
