As part of the Melbourne Prize for Literature a video was made of all of the finalists. These videos have been uploaded to You Tube so to see my video click here or to see videos from other finalists click here. I especially recommend Simmone Howell’s video. I found it hysterical.
Also I discovered an amazing website and feel like I’ve been slapped with a big dose of common sense. Parents I would recommend you all check it out. It’s called Free Range Kids and it’s about the way there is hysteria these days about kids being kids and we overreact to small dangers as a result we’re not raising our kids to be self-sufficient and able to tackle the challenges of the real world. I love, love, love it. Have a read and see what you think for yourself.
And Mai Wen has given me the Lemonade Award and I want to pass the love around.
