Today's new podcast is a beauty! I'm chatting all things primitive reflexes with Evonne Bennell. This will be a great listen if you've already heard me speak about reflex development but also a good introduction if you haven't.
As luck would have it Evonne is in Adelaide this weekend to run an RMT level 3 course, so I have the next 2 days absorbing more of her phenomenal knowledge.

If you're not a thermomix owner, you should be able to convert the recipe to to a food processor or simply start with almond meal and grated apples. For lunch boxes, you can also swap the almonds for pepitas. http://www.recipecommunity.com.au/…/date-apple-cinna…/121702
I loved this segment on 60 Minutes, all about whether to send children to school young or hold them back another 12 months. This is a very timely conversation right now, with the new school year just around the corner.
2 of my children have end of year birthdays, meaning they were 5 before starting school, while 1 (my boy) was only 4 during his entire first term. Would I keep him at home longer if I had my time over? Quite likely, yes.
As parents around Australia prepare to send their children to school for the very first time, many feel - along with the usual tears and butterflies - a nigglin...g doubt: is their child ready?
In 2013, #60Mins took a look at the common concern - is there a 'right age' for children to be starting school? | Full story: bit.ly/2gqdqEU
