Pinky, unfortunately I'm in South Australia and not
able to make it to your talk, however I am intrigued by your comment that there
is emerging evidence that practices such as controlled crying and
parent-directed feeding could be linked to neurophysiological changes that may predispose children to stress disorders such as panic,
anxiety and depression in later life. Would you be able to post some
references so I can read further into the matter?
Many thanks,

Hi Joy
I will be speaking informally to mums with bubs
only at 2.30pm after a babies GymbarOO class on the afternoon of 26 Sept (just
in case later nights arent easy and it can be more specifically to needs of
newer mums) This is no charge and wont be promoted openly, although if you
know some mums who would like to attend this will be fine.
I am giving an evening talk 'Parenting By Heart'
- at 7.30 pm. -Venue :CWA hall, 561 Kiewa St. Albury (next to council
building).
The blurb is :
Pinky McKay, author of the popular Parenting By
Heart and 100 Ways to Calm the Crying - the ONLY Australian book about
infant crying (with a foreword by Sheila Kitzinger) - will be
visiting Albury on 26 Sept.
Pinky offers a gentle perspective on
parenting, without power struggles. She is passionate about how the
prevalence of methods such as controlled crying and behaviour management
can have adverse affects on both the parent/ child relationship, infant health
and well-being, and parental confidence.
She says, "at any age, parent/child relationships
should be based on mutual respect and trust, rather than issues of control ,
yet power struggles are beginning with infants as young as just a few weeks
old over basic needs such as feeding and sleeping."
Pinky's stance against practices such as
controlled crying and parent directed feeding is based on emerging
evidence that these practices can be associated with:
*Failure to thrive,
*infant depression,
*changes to the physiology of the brain that may
predispose children to stress disorders such as panic, anxiety and depression
in later life.
Pinky will be
speaking to parents at Albury GymbaROO centre 7.30 pm Thursday 26
Sept.Her talk "Parenting By Heart" will encourage parents to take charge by
becoming informed, then listening to their child and trusting their own
instincts, rather than handing over their power to a myriad of expert
advice which may be confusing, or irrelevant to an individual
situation.

Hi Megan,
So far,
I am heading to talk in Albury on 26
sept.
Am getting quite a few invites and referring
some to my agent as lots of time organising required -travel is tricky among mothering/ working etc but I will
consider if there is a group of interested mums and expenses
covered.
