Judy Bailey, one of Brainwave’s founding members, a current Trustee, Committe Member & Presenter is  featured in The Australian Women’s Weekly March 2008 issue.

The article is entitled “Judy Bailey, Mum’s the Word”.  AWW’s Karen Burge tells why the well-loved newsreader has become a poster girl for positive parenting.

Here are some quotes and passages from the article:

Stepping away from television has not so much meant “retirement” as a chance to move ahead with the work that drives her - a passion to ensure all New Zealand children start life with “someone who is madly in love with them”.

Jude is intensely involved with the Brainwave Trust which raise public awareness about how a child’s experiences in the first three years of life affect their brain development and future.” (more…)

Brainwave has produced four different publications: 

1. Our  five page fold-out pamphlet “The First Years of Life Last Forever”
2. Our fifteen page booklet  “Build a Lifetime in the first three years”
3. Pamphlet “Seeing, Hearing & Feeling Violence”, produced by Brainwave for MSD
4. Pocket card “Family Violence Can Harm Your Child for Life”, produced by Brainwave for MSD

 These first two are available from Brainwave.   We will send the pamphlet out free, but for large numbers would appreciate help towards the postage costs.  If you require more than 10 booklets, we ask for help towards our costs of 25c each, plus postage & packing costs.  They can be sent out with an invoice for payment.  Just send an email with your postal details to sandie@brainwave.org.nz  

The last two are available free from the MSD website or use these links.  Choose the one for your area, fill in the details of what you require (I have highlighted our publications) & email the form to violencefree@familyservices.govt.nz or fax the form to 04 9172080.
