- How to stop the nagging and gain co-operation
- Parenting traps and how to avoid them
- How to develop resilient kids

This is a community event suitable for parents, caregivers and educators - tickets available now.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
