I'm still getting over the Prime Minister saying if people don't like the food provided by the school lunch programme, they should make a marmite sandwich. And quite rightly, his comments are being described by the principal of a school in Kaiapoi as “absolutely disgraceful”. And I couldn't agree more. Jason Miles is the principal of Kaiapoi North School and he's bang on – that talk from the PM was disgraceful. And he says it just shows that Christopher Luxon has had a gutsful of the school lunches thing. He says: "He (the PM) is out of touch with the current inequities that didn't exist in his time." Jason Miles is saying what we all know – that kids can't learn when they're hungry because they are easily distracted, and they get restless. He says: “A healthy, nutritious, tasty lunch could be the only substantial meal that child gets for the whole day and a marmite sandwich and an apple is probably ok some days, but we want to know we are going to get a consistently, healthy nutritious meal for our children so they can learn." And that's the point here. We can bang on all we like about us going to school when we were kids with just a marmite sandwich - maybe a bit fancy on it some days with a piece of lettuce as well. Or sandwiches with luncheon in them. And yes, we did just fine. Just like Christopher Luxon did. But here's the difference - we went to school in the morning with some breakfast in our belly and we went home at night to an evening meal. But that seems to be lost on the Prime Minister. Which is why this principal from Kaiapoi North School is saying today that Christopher Luxon's appalling comments show just how out of touch he is. Last night, this thing came through on my social media feed and it was a video the “How to Dad” guy, Jordan Watson was fronting. It was promoting KidsCan and he was reading letters that teachers had sent-in talking about poverty in their schools. One of them talked about two siblings at the school and how each of them only turned up every second day, and the teacher got a bit sick of that and went to have a word with one of them. And the kid explained that they had to share shoes, and it was his turn to wear the shoes that day and that's why he was at school and his sibling wasn't. That's the world that people like this Kaiapoi North School principal knows about. And I know the Prime Minister will say he knows about it too, but I don't think he does. He's out of touch. Maybe he hasn't heard what happened at that school in Murchison last week. The lunches arrived and they were so hot that the plastic had melted, and it wasn't until the kids had been eating for a bit that they realised they'd been eating plastic. How can he tell those kids to eat a marmite sandwich if they don't like it? No wonder Education Minister Erica Stanford wants and explanation from Associate Minister David Seymour. She must have had her head in her hands when she heard the boss banging on about marmite sandwiches on Newstalk ZB yesterday morning and then coming out with the same nonsense in parliament. It was disgraceful and shows that, when it comes down to it, the PM has no idea what life is really like for some kids in our country. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode, featuring one of our friends or past guests and their expertise on a certain topic. This weeks episode features Julie Chapman founder & CEO KidsCan and Pet Refuge.

Men and Kids Can't Find Anything 10/08/24

Welcoming Julie Chapman, founder of KidsCan and Pet Refuge, to Purposely where she shares her founder story and her vision for the charities she leads. Founded in 2005, KidsCan was born from Chapman's belief that "education equals opportunity." The charity's primary goal is to provide essential items that children living in hardship need to access educational opportunities. This includes food, shoes, jackets, and other necessities that many take for granted. Chapman's journey with KidsCan began with a simple yet powerful realization: thousands of children in New Zealand were going to school without adequate food, clothing, or shoes. This inequality struck a chord with her sense of fairness and justice, prompting her to act. Starting from her garage and with initial seed funding from her parents and Guardian Trust, Chapman rapidly scaled KidsCan. Within the first year, the charity raised about $600,000 and was supporting 40 schools. Today, KidsCan helps over 60,000 children across New Zealand, operating with an annual budget exceeding $20 million. In 2017, Chapman founded her second charity, Pet Refuge, after learning about a significant barrier preventing many people from leaving abusive relationships: concern for their pets' safety. Research showed that 53% of women delay leaving family violence situations out of fear for their pets, with 24% reporting that a pet had been killed as part of the abuse. Pet Refuge provides a haven for the pets of families fleeing domestic violence, covering all costs associated with their care until families can be safely reunited with their beloved animals. This unique approach addresses a critical gap in existing support services for domestic violence survivors. Throughout her journey, Chapman has demonstrated remarkable tenacity and adaptability. She attributes her success to her ability to clearly communicate the issues at hand and the tangible impact of potential solutions. Her approach to leadership involves surrounding herself with capable team members and maintaining a strong focus on the mission at hand. Chapman's experience in founding and growing KidsCan proved invaluable when establishing Pet Refuge. She applied lessons learned, such as setting up proper financial reporting and data collection systems from the start, which helped Pet Refuge gain traction quickly. Despite the growth and success of both charities, Chapman remains driven by purpose rather than personal recognition. She continues to advocate for long-term change, working with business communities and government to address the root causes of child poverty and domestic violence in New Zealand. As she looks to the future, Chapman is exploring ways to expand the impact of both organisations. For KidsCan, this includes focusing on providing children with opportunities to broaden their horizons beyond their immediate communities. For Pet Refuge, plans are underway to potentially build a second shelter to meet the significant demand for their services. Julie Chapman's story is one of compassion, determination, and practical problem-solving. Through KidsCan and Pet Refuge, she has created lasting change in the lives of countless New Zealanders, embodying the power of purpose-driven leadership and the impact one person can have when they decide to act.

Demand for help from KidsCan has sky-rocketed in the last year. The charity is urgently appealing for donations as more than 10,000 children in 260 schools await help with food, shoes and clothing. Many don't qualify for the Government's free lunch scheme. KidsCan Chief Executive Julie Chapman says the wait-list has grown by more than 150 schools in the last 12 months. She says securing funding's a challenge. "We want to make sure that we're not taking them off for a short time, that we're able to support them for as long as they need it."

Income tax cuts kick in for us today and 94% of us will get a few extra bucks.  Will it be swallowed up by your mortgage, or your insurance going up, or your rates? Probably, but better we get the money and decide what to do with it than the politicians, right?  Also today, MPs get their first pay rise since 2017, and watch closely, watch those particularly who shout the loudest about equality, and fairness, and justice, and all those good things.  Do they put their money where their mouth is today?  Chris Luxon, for his sins —and I assume it's to stave off the inevitable media storm about he's rich, he's white, he's got seven houses— he has promised to donate his full tax cut 20 bucks a week to charity, also the increase in his pay to charity.  Hipkins, what's happening over at Labour HQ?  Well, Labour has apparently emailed their supporters asking for the tax cut to be donated.  It sounds good. Not to Women's Refuge or Kids Can, but to Labour.  Yes. Take your tax cut and give it to Labour.  But what about the Greens? Where do they stand on this? What gesture are they making?  By their own estimates they are the wealthy elite, many of them own homes. They're on salaries of more than 170,000 bucks a year.  They're getting a close to 3% pay rise backdated to last October I might add.  And Chloe Swarbrick, as the co-leader, will now get a nice bump to her salary for that too. She'll be on well over $200,000.  Where are the pledges to donate, Marama and Chloe, et al, where are they?  These tax cuts, according to you guys, are cruel and dangerous and a national disgrace, they benefit the wealthy elites.  So the question is, what are you wealthy elites, by your own definition, going to do about it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government yesterday anounced its carving more than a hundred million dollars off the cost of the school lunch programme ..but it says even more kids will get a free feed. CEO and Co-founder of KidsCan Charitable Trust. Julie Chapman discussed the programme with Lisa Owen.

An Auckland preschool is worried that the government-provided lunches could lack in nutrition for children under five. Te Papapa Preschool in Onehunga has been getting lunch support from the charity KidsCan for years. The school's manager Liz Ferris spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Advocates for children living in poverty are concerned the Government is not doing enough to support young people struggling to eat, let alone go to school. The latest data from StatsNZ shows 23,000 more children are lacking basic household essentials like groceries and good shoes. Chief Executive of the KidsCan charity, Julie Chapman, says housing costs are consuming too much of people's meagre incomes, forcing families, parents and children, to work multiple jobs to put food on the table. Chapman spoke to Corin Dann.

Bij het ontwerpen van veel voorwerpen wordt nog onvoldoende rekening gehouden met kindveiligheid. Dat geldt zowel voor voorwerpen als fietshelmen, als voor bankjes in bushokjes en andere objecten in de openbare ruimte.  In veel gevallen zijn de maten die hiervoor worden gebruikt (als ze al worden gebruikt) achterhaald of beperkt. Onderzoekers van de TU Delft hopen daar met nieuwe metingen iets aan te veranderen. Ze krijgen daarbij hulp van een heleboel kinderen en een 3D-scanner.  In deze audio hoor je onderzoeker Toon Huysmans.

Free school lunches are in the firing line, with documents showing Treasury isn't keen. A report to the Finance Minister says the programme doesn't affect attendance, and gives little benefit to Māori students. Each day, 10,000 meals are left over, either because kids aren't at school, or don't like what's on offer. KidsCan Chief Executive Julie Chapman says there's no doubt waste is an issue that needs addressing.

Today on The Mindvalley Show, we are creating a framework to develop your child's passion and vision for life. Our guest is Mathew Knowles, the father of legendary Beyonce and Solange Knowles and the visionary behind Destiny's Child. He gives insight into his mindset as a parent and how you can help your children achieve their wildest dreams. No one can be great at everything, yet parents commonly pressure their children into being straight-A students, assume extracurricular activities, and expect perfection unseen in the adult world. Mathew believes perfection kills your child's creativity and prevents them from realizing their passions. He teaches you to nurture your children's natural abilities instead of molding them into your vision.  We discuss the importance of honesty. Mathew reveals that he never hid his mistakes and struggles from his children. This honest communication set Beyonce and Solange up for success in the real world. Without experiencing failure, your children can't grow, and one big mistake could be their catalyst for greatness.  Mathew imparts his key ingredients to develop your children's passion so they can dream big and never fear failure. All children have greatness inside them, and today we learn how you can become the positive influence your children need to achieve their vision. Your words and actions unconsciously influence your children's understanding of the world. Join us to discover how you can grow as a parent and help your child achieve their dreams.   Key Takeaways: [2:00] Raising an Inspiring Daughter [3:40] Growing up With Racial Trauma  [8:00] Living a Life of Integrity  [10:40] The Catalyst of Mathew's Career [14:45] Identifying Your Child's Passion [17:35] Supporting Your Kid's Passion [19:00] Kids Can't be Experts in Everything [23:40] Sharing Your Failures with Your Kids [29:00] A Child's Innate Vision [32:45] Talk-to-Do Ratio  [36:30] The Words You Choose Matter   Where to Find Our Guest: The DNA of Achievers: 10 Traits of Highly Successful Professionals Destiny's Child: The Untold Story   Memorable Quotes: “I realize, every area we're not experts in. I think parents sometimes we forget that, that ourselves we're not experts in every area. There will be some areas our kid will struggle in.” [19:41] -Mathew Knowles “We also shared our mistakes with them, and our failures with them. We didn't hide that from our kids and I think that was a positive thing.” [23:43] -Mathew Knowles  Words matter, especially with kids. What words you say is critically important, and I think when we have a topic like race, or we have a topic like education we have to be really careful how we say these words to our kids, because they're like an empty glass, and we're filling them up with our belief system.” [40:10] -Mathew Knowles     To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley   Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here

Simon Trye joins us in the studio to talk about his attempt at running the entire Auckland Marathon in full Fire Fighters kit, raising money for Kidscan. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'Next time just ask' - the reaction from Dave Letele after his South Auckland foodbank was broken into yesterday. Thieves took off with at least $10,000 worth of goods. It's come at a time when food prices have reached a 13-year high and Letele says it's a sign of how desperate things have become. KidsCan is also reporting record demand for food to fill young tummies. Our reporter Louise Ternouth and camera operator Marika Khabazi have the story.

A Western Bay of Plenty school is providing breakfast lunch and dinner - and even transport so kids can get to class. As well as KidsCan's research on children going to school hungry, it's also found some homes with two working parents are having to choose between paying the bills and basic essentials. Te Puke Primary School principal Andrea Dance talks to Rowan Quinn.  

Sky-high food prices are being felt in classrooms, with one charity saying it is feeding 10,000 more hungry students compared to the beginning of the year. As children return to school for Term 4 today, children's charity Kidscan said it had fielded calls from principals who were in tears about the hunger and poverty they were seeing among students. "It's the worst we have ever seen it," said chief executive Julie Chapman, who founded the charity in 2005. "Parents are living in deficit every week. For the first time in 17 years, we are having teachers and principals break down on the phone to us because they are seeing the level of deprivation, particularly in that food space." In the 1000 schools and daycares which Kidscan supported, the number of children needing food support had risen from 44,000 in Term 1 and 2 to 54,500 in Term 4. Food prices are at a 13-year high, with data from Stats NZ last week showing prices rose 8.3 per cent in the year to September, including a 16 per cent increase for fruit and vegetables. This is being driven by a combination of pandemic supply problems, the war in Ukraine, labour shortages and tough local growing conditions. The latest official data on child poverty last week showed material deprivation rates were falling, but those gains were uneven and the data did not cover the full impact of Covid-19, the cost of living crisis, the Government's response to it, or children in temporary homes like emergency housing. Edmund Hillary School in Papakura is one of 39 schools on the wait-list for Kidscan support. "The kids are tired about 20 minutes into class time," principal Kataraina Nock said. "They are literally lying on the floor and I am thinking 'What on earth is the matter?'. They can't concentrate because they haven't got anything in their tummy." In the newly-introduced equity index for schools, the lowest possible score is 569. Edmund Hillary School is rated as 539. It is one of 950 schools around New Zealand which qualifies for the Government's food in school's programme. But that was not a complete solution, Nock said. "The kids are arriving at school hungry and we can't wait until the delivery of the lunches. We had to start making them toast in the classroom." The school has reintroduced a breakfast club and is feeding between 50 and 80 students each morning with temporary funding from the Ted Manson Foundation. That funding will run out at the end of the year. As the high cost of living had worsened the impact of Covid, some schools have played an increasing role in supporting families. Te Puke Primary School principal Andrea Dance said the last two years had been difficult for families in their region. Fuel, food, and housing costs had all risen, and some had struggled to get back into work. Children are tired about 20 minutes into class time, says Edmund Hillary School principal Kataraina Nock. Photo / Supplied For some students, her school was now providing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in a handful of cases, a hot shower and a lift to school. "The kids are really happy and they want to be at school. But we have families that are really struggling, so we try to eliminate all those barriers so that school is one thing these kids can count on." Dance said there had been a silver lining to Covid-19, because schools had to become more connected with families while they were at home. "What I've noticed in the last couple of years is parents are actually asking for help when they need it - with food packages and other things. It is actually okay to ask when they are struggling, which is great." Shelley Cook, a special education needs coordinator at Coastal Taranaki School, said between 40 and 50 children ate breakfast at the school each morning. Students were initially ashamed about asking for help with meals, she said. The school had to work hard to remove the stigma of food assistance. "People on the outside of the communities might comment that surely it's the whanau's job to be able to feed their kids. It's not that they can't or won't, but … there is massive financial pressure on whanau at the moment."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Rob is clean-shaven, for now! During the month of May, he will be growing a mustache to raise money for Mustaches for Kids! It may sound a bit absurd but this charity has raised over $4.7 million for various charities that benefit kids since 2009. This year the money raised is going to Kids Can and Child Saving Institute. You can help Dr. Rob get to the top of the leaderboard by donating to his campaign, just click HERE. We will be giving growth updates periodically on Twitter. Lots to cover and lots to drink in the latest edition of the Doc Talk Podcast. We know a lot of you are sick and tired of us talking about NIL which is now really just pay for play. The NCAA is now considering action against teams that a blatantly breaking the rules and setting standards for NIL moving forward. But is now the time to do it? NCAA President Mark Emmert announced he was stepping down. Under the leadership of Emmert, the NCAA in our opinion and that of many others has been a complete joke! Should the NCAA wait for a new President to take action or should it reign in what is currently out of control?  Nebraska gets slapped on the hand by the NCAA. Really? We have players getting million-dollar deals and fancy cars and it seems more concerned with giving Scott Frost a one-year show cause because an analyst did some “coaching”? The absurdity is frustrating and comical at the same time. Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice also talk about the recent transfer portal addition for the Huskers. There is a lot of hype, but can the players live up to it?  Really, only time will tell. We drink a couple of different beers in this edition. Some from South Dakota and some from Wisconsin. Thanks to our loyal listeners for sending us these fine brews. If you think we are missing out on something good to drink, let us know!  Speaking of great craft beer. The next recording of the Doc Talk Podcast will be Tuesday, May 17th at Kros Strain Draftworks at Millwork Commons! Join us on location and have some fun with us.  We will start recording at 7:00 and we will be there until at least 9, probably a little longer.  Not only is it a great time to drink great, local craft beer from Kros Strain, but it's also a good opportunity to scope out your hangout for the Big 10 Baseball Tournament and the College World Series.  You will find out as we have, Draftworks at Millwork Commons is perfect.

How do they earn money. . .or DO they earn money?One way that kids can earn money is through chores.  Initially, Brittany's family was of the mind that chores were just a part of life-and should be done-which is a belief that many families hold (and how many of us were raised).  Over the years, however, she and her husband have pivoted a bit and decided that there are definitely SOME chores that are simply done out of family responsibility, but there are also tasks that can be completed for money-for a really good reason:Allowing children to earn money beginning at a young age can provide SO many teaching opportunities when it comes to money management-and helps with the goal of raising financially smart adults.  Both our families pay children their age in allowance each week.  Brittany's family has a great system (which also teaches responsibility and the importance of a job well done).  We'll call it the system of 1/2's. . .1. It's ALWAYS a good idea to check kid work (think of yourself as quality control).  Brittany emphasizes the idea (once again-because it is brilliant) of asking good questions (in a loving way) when effort is lacking (or if a job hasn't been done).  2. Then, if a child doesn't complete their chores one day, their pay is cut in half.3. If they miss a second day, there goes another half.  4. By the third missed day-there will be no pay.  On raising entrepreneurs. . .Brittany's kids have participated in the Children's Business Fair for a few years now and they have learned a TON.  This last year, her boys made and sold wooden toys, and her girls sold handmade dolls and paper.  Parents help, yes, but the kids purchase supplies, create product ideas, and run their shops on the big day!  For more information on Children's Business Fairs, check out: https://www.childrensbusinessfair.orgAfter the fair, there is another great opportunity for a teachable moment. . .what to do with the profit!Earnings are divided as follows. . .1. 10% is given.  Giving is SO important, and when started young, it can become a GREAT lifelong habit.2. 20% is saved.  The only exception to this is when profits (or earnings exceed $100, then savings gets bumped to 30%)3. 70% is spent!  If kiddos work hard to earn all that money, they should get to enjoy it!  Now. . .depending on the kid, this can get a bit sticky--literally and figuratively--because we all have that one child who wants to spend $15 on candy!  This is another great opportunity to ask good questions and let your kids waste a little money (because when something else comes along later when they have nothing to spend-it will be a great lesson).  As far as savings goes, this is an area where we exercise a bit more parental control, for two reasons. . .1. to teach good habits (because savings is important, and saving little bits over time and not digging into it constantly is a GREAT habit), and 2. both of our families have a parent matching program (where we add the child's age to their savings each month on TOP of what they save themselves.  Kids CAN do big things with their money!  Brittany's two oldest saved for and traveled from Florida to ALASKA!  She also has another son saving for his own hoverboard right now!  Our family was able to help my oldest purchase a new camera for his photography business by saving in this way!If you aren't interested in chores, and you don't live near an area with a children's business fair-consider encouraging kids to own their own skills.  Kids CAN do big things-with a little help and encouragement!  Finally-we would love to hear YOUR ideas!  Find us on IG @dirty_moms_talk, @thedeliberateday, and @artfullybydorajayne 

We all want to be present with our children, right? That's what is so beautiful about swimming – there's no place that you could be more present. You need to be exactly where you are! Talking to Kaylee Kennedy, the founder of many swim schools, not only inspired us to get in the water with our children, but also taught us the best safety measures to take, and methods to teach to foster a love for the water.      Kaylee Kennedy, taught her oldest son to swim as a baby, and it bonded them in such a strong way. It inspired Kaylee to open up Saskatoon Swim School in the Fall of 2014 when her son was just a year old. Her overall philosophy of teaching beginners to swim is to do so as effectively and safely as possible. But it did not end there. In came K&K Swim School throughout Canada. Then, with the pandemic, came a whole new vision - teaching babies and toddlers to swim in their own bathtubs at home -  watermellow (previously, KKOnlineSwim)l was born.       Start Swimming with Kids:   Can start as young as 3-weeks-old   The younger, the better! [definitely before 14-months-old is ideal]   Can start in the bathtub   Can also learn in a hot tub that is set to 90-91 degrees [what you need for kids until around 3-years-old is depth, more than length]    Kids should be swimming once a week, or at least twice a month, so their body doesn't forget   Tip: Bring goggles for anywhere with a hot tub or a big bathtub!      Teaching Water as a Caregiver:   A large part is going under the water with your kids and having fun!   If you're not a confident swimmer, a swim school should be able to teach you that with your child   Once you want your child to learn technique, they can join swim lessons    Get in the water with them and hold them by their underarms and be their floatation device! The lighter your fingers, the more independence they have   Tip: Wear a T-shirt in the water – it allows your child to grab onto you      Typical Swim Groups [Swimming Doesn't Have to be Competitive]:   Synchro   Diving   Water Polo   Swim Team      Why We Are Not Fans of Self-Rescue Lessons:   Some methods of self-rescue can include listening to the child's input   Lots of aggressive forms of teaching self-rescue doesn't stay attuned to child's feelings and progression   The word “rescue” alone brings a fear to the water – a child should never have to rescue or save themselves in the water – if a child feels like they are going to die, that's a very traumatic experience (and then imagine that trauma over and over and over again)   The mindset doesn't match the intention; instead focus on learning to breathe, have fun, and swim, so children can become independent in the water      Let's Talk Water Safety:   Always, always, always, make sure child is at arm's reach from an adult [100% supervision]   Teach children to respect the strength of water by teaching them submerging, breath control, and calm controlled movements in the water   Kids learn by submerging again and again and again   The danger comes when kids don't know what water is capable of, so exposure is key!   Have a gate around pools and an alarm at the back door (and no doggy door) – remember non-swim times are the largest concern, so we need to teach our kids that they do not go in the water without us   When you go to a place with water, make going in the water the first thing you do, and watch what your kids do, so they learn boundaries       PFDs,  Lifejackets, and Puddle Jumpers:   These products should never be used as a replacement for parental supervision   They are meant to be used for if you were to fall off a boat and be knocked unconscious   Kids should not “learn to swim” in these - doesn't allow them to submerge and doesn't allow them to be in a horizontal position   It's not a great idea to wear them outside of the pool either, because it gives a false sense of security [that being said, you need to know your situation, and if you can be physically present with all your kids]     Book Recommendation: Finding Chika & The Stranger in the Lifeboat by Mitch Albom     Follow Kaylee's Swim School:  Websites: http://watermellow.com & http://kkswimschool.com  Facebook: Watermellow & KKSwimSchool  Instagram & TikTok: @watermellow.swim @knkswimschool    Check out KWE's #patch4apurpose to support 1, or all 8, charities: https://kidswhoexplore.com/product/original-explorer-patch4apurpose/    Today's Host: @adriannaadventures & @laurenrodycheberle from @kidswhoexplore  Production: @kpmediaproductions.
