Some help identifying the best Pictograms for young people with stomach problems

Gayl from Mount Eden

Hi, Thanks you for those who have shown interest in this research. I am still wanting young people aged 5-18 to help me with getting these pictograms right. The pictograms (images) will be used by children and young people to help them describe the symptoms they experience. To understand if the pictograms are understandable and helpful for young people, we want to canvas a range of young people for their thoughts.

Participation consists of completing an online survey. It can be completed on a mobile device or laptop. If you or someone you know would like to participate, you can use this link auckland.au1.qualtrics.com... or email BSGM@auckland.ac.nz for more information.

It will take around 15-20 minutes to complete. All those that complete can opt into entering a draw for one of three $100 Westfield Vouchers.

The research has been approved by the NZ Health and Disability Ethics Committee 2022 Full 12705

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
