Today, Paula attended the monthly meeting for the Far North Early Childhood Network (FNECN).

FNECN is a collaborative organisation made up of like-minded professionals who are passionate about raising the profile of the early years sector across Far North Queensland. The network focuses on connecting early childhood professionals and services with the shared goal of supporting every child to enter school healthy, confident, and ready to engage in learning.

Current discussions focused on the ongoing campaign to roll out educational posters across organisations and community services. These resources are designed to support and encourage parents and carers in recognising their important role as a child’s first teacher. The campaign aims to increase awareness of the supports, services, and practical strategies available to help guide and nurture children as they grow into capable, connected, and confident individuals.
You will find these in the Cairns and Innisfail offices.

Please take a moment to reflect on today and the meaning of what it is to be a Mother, Auntie, Grandmother, carer, thankyou for all that you do.

This is a very interesting understanding why making your bed in the morning is important. Love to hear your thoughts, I am a bed maker.

It is hard to say you are not ok sometimes especially if you are that person that people go to for support when they need it. Counselling offers support to those who need a positive sounding board without the emotional attachment.

Understanding Stealing & Lying in Children Who Have Experienced Trauma
Have you ever wondered why some children who have experienced neglect or trauma may steal or lie?

For many children, these behaviours are not about being “naughty” or dishonest. They can be survival responses shaped by past experiences, fear, shame, or anxiety.
Join us for an informative and supportive session designed for parents, foster carers, kinship carers, and anyone supporting children who have experienced trauma.

During this session we will explore:
• Why stealing and lying can occur after trauma or neglect
• What these behaviours may be communicating
• The impact of trauma on the developing brain
• Practical, trauma-informed ways to respond in the moment
• Strategies to build safety, trust, and emotional regulation

This session aims to help carers and parents better understand the “why” behind behaviours, while offering practical tools to support children with compassion and confidence.
📍 Online via Zoom
⏱ Duration: 1 hour (might go longer)
💲 Cost: $15
📅 Date: Thursday 30th April at 8pm

This is a safe and supportive space to learn, reflect, and ask questions.
If you support a child who has experienced trauma, this session may help provide valuable insight and practical strategies.
