The way you can measure a society’s soul is by the way that it treats its children.

Welcome to Kidz Newz especially to all new subscribers, including those from ASME Summer School in Perth. Kidz Newz is a regular newsletter with information and teaching tips for anyone involved with young children. You are receiving this because you have attended one of my workshops, purchased a book, or you have requested to be on the mailing list. Thank you. Please forward this to anyone you feel it may be of interest to. Feedback is welcome.
Regular subscribers would have noticed the absence of Kidz Newz Newsletters lately. This is because I have been teaching full-time as well as attending to day-to-day Kidz-Fiz-Biz activities. Part-time teaching is so blissful as it allows me time for almost everything including Kidz Newz.

Starting Out Again
I wanted to share with you a recent ‘Kick in the Pants’ Newsletter from Colin Pearce which he has given me permission to do. If you are not into poetry don’t miss the YouTube video of Susan Boyle. If you haven’t already seen it, it’s bound to bring a tear to the eye. Talk about inspirational.
Start out Again
When all you’ve done till now
Has left you sad somehow
And you feel that life just can’t go on
I know that this is the truth
And you don’t need any proof
You can always start out again
And when the dreams that you’ve had
Have all turned out bad
And life just seems to let you down
No matter how bad it seems
Like you’ve no hope or dreams
You can always start out again
You can dust yourself down
Wipe away that old frown
And start taking one step at a time
Though your progress be slow
It won’t be long and you’ll know
You’ll be glad that you started again
