State Picnic 2012
Here are some photos from the State Picnic..
The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) is conducting research into the role of fathers in feeding young children. Feeding young children has been predominantly researched with mothers, so little is known about fathers in relation to mealtimes. In fact, it can be difficult to attract fathers to this kind of research.
Fathers that complete this survey go into the draw to win a $100 Coles Myer voucher!
The researchers are seeking fathers of toddlers and preschool aged children (approximately 18 months to 5 years) that do not have a developmental or medical diagnosis. Fathers that are concerned about their child’s eating or mealtime behaviour are particularly invited to participate, though all fathers are welcome! Participation involves completing an online survey that takes about 30 minutes.
Further information and the survey are available at https://psych.sci.usq.edu.au/olsRun.asp?Survey=RFFY2011. The research has ethical approval from USQ Human Research Ethics Committee.

Parents Without Partners branches offer many activities for single parents and their children …all planned and hosted by volunteer members. These are things planned for the enjoyment of the families. Sometimes activities are planned just for children, sometimes for the whole family & sometimes for adults only. Examples are picnics, skating, bowling, tours to zoos and other places of interest, nature hikes, movies, museums, camping, community service, and the list can go on and on. Realizing that although we love our children, the parents need social time to themselves, we also schedule parent social activities. These are similar to the family activities, but usually with a dance added into the mix. Each chapter has its own "favorite" activities. There are guidelines for chapters on scheduling their activities so as to stay in balance with our mission to provide support for single parent families.
