INTERVENING EARLY TO SUPPORT OUR VULNERABLE CHILDREN
 |
| Nathan Mikaere-Wallis |
PRESENTER:
NATHAN MIKAERE-WALLIS
VENUE: THE
ORCHARD, TE PUKE
Strengthening
Families and Relationships Aotearoa organised this workshop presented by Nathan
Mikaere-Wallis who was such an inspirational presenter. There were as many as 350 in attendances from
numerous networks throughout the Bay of Plenty region. Information stands were set up from different
organisations to promote services and networking.
The presentation
was focused on children aged from 0-5 years and their capacity to retain
information up to 3 years old. This
highlighting the importance on making sure our children’s physical needs are
being met.
Nature vs
Nurture Environment contributes to the outcomes a child will develop for the
rest of their life.
Nathan
expressed that you can never spoil a baby enough. The more time you spend with your baby face
to face the better.
His view on
pre-school was that the child is better at home with the mother because that is
where your child learns most.
It’s about
teaching parents to connect with their babies from playing, talking, singing
and plenty of love and affection.
This was a
great experience in having attended this particular workshop.

is the Dental Therapist with Te Manu Toroa who will be visiting Maketu Kura
next term. Barbara and the dental team
look forward in meeting with Tamariki and their whanau to provide oral health
care services.
Children from
birth to Year 8
All children
need to be enrolled with the School Dental Service to receive free oral health
care. The age of enrolment varies by region, but the majority are enrolled by
age two and a half years. Dental care is provided by dental therapists in
school, community or mobile dental clinics until the end of Year 8.
