Help our future doctors learn about early childhood development
Is your baby due between January – May 2020? Hi everyone! I'm a nurse at Auckland Uni and recruiting new moms.
- Would you be interested in participating in the Human Early Life Development –Integrated Learning Activity (HELD-ILA) helping our future doctors learn about early childhood development?
- Would you be happy for a pair of Medical Students to visit you to assess your baby’s development? The assessment is done with observations and questionnaires. This would involve 6-7 visits each 60-90 minutes in your own home over 18 months.
If you would like to find out more, please contact: The HELD Recruiter, Department of Paediatrics: Child and Youth Health, University of Auckland on Ph: 027 2719068, or by email at held@auckland.ac.nz

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
