Benefits Of Baby Massage On Different Regions Of The Body
| May 16, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Alternative Medicines and Remedies, Attachment Parenting, Child Health, Child Safety, Consistent Care |
Baby massage is a hugely beneficial tool for parents and carers to use as a natural and instinctive way of relieving tension, pain or discomfort. Have you ever sat with someone crying, and rubbed their back? This is natural and instinctive comforting. Have you ever had a child in pain from constipation and rubbed their…
Talking To Children About Death
| March 12, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Carnival of Natural Parenting, Consistent Care, Misc, Raising Conscious Children |
Six months ago, my mother was diagnosed with Peritoneal Mesothelioma and told that without treatment she would have four weeks to live. Our visas were taking longer than that to be granted – my mother lives in Australia, I live in England, and the Australian government had no sympathy or compassion and made it as…
Retaking The Joys Of Motherhood
| February 6, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Attachment Parenting, Consistent Care, Motherhood, Night Time Parenting, On Mama's Mind |
I read a paragraph from Carlos Gonzalez’s book Kiss Me! (US Link)*recently that has stayed with me all week and has gone round and round in my head. Speaking about taboos in modern society, he talks of how the subjects of sex and promiscuity or homosexuality are no longer taboo as they were when our parents…

A new Facebook follower,Kelly Bartlett , recently caught my attention when I saw her title as ‘writer’. I followed her profile till I found a book she’d written, Encouraging Words For Kids. I then found it on Amazon for Kindle and read it and it was so good, I want to share it with you.…
Forging A Village In The Absence Of One

I loved packing my bags and boarding the plane for England. My family weren’t there to see me off, since they were living in Malaysia. When they left Malaysia and eventually immigrated to Australia, via a few years back in South Africa, I was already married and living in England.
How To (Not) Curse A Two Year Old
| October 25, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Attachment Parenting, Consistent Care, Gentle and Positive Discipline, Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
My little girl is two years old. In most circles, that fact is normally followed by ghostly ‘oooh’ sounds. That bothers me. It bothers me that there’s an assumed reaction to becoming two years old. It bothers me that an avalanche of bad behaviour is prophetically cast over wary mothers and unsuspecting toddlers. It bothers…
Playgroup Monster Mama

Yes. That’s me. Or it was, today. I’m a firm believer in Ameli’s playtime. I’m a firm believer that she needs to be around other children. I’m a firm believer that she needs to learn to share. I’m a firm believer that she can’t have the best toys to herself at all times. I’m a…
Babies Don’t Listen To Experts

Every baby is different. From conception to pregnancy through the birth and into adulthood – yet somehow we expect babies and toddlers to follow a set schedule.
Why Everyone’s Child Matters
| January 23, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Attachment Parenting, Consistent Care |
“Each of us must come to care about everyone else’s children. We must recognize that the welfare of our children is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people’s children. After all, when one of our children needs life-saving surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. If one of our children is harmed by…
