Being a parent means asking yourself a lot of questions.
And that’s perfectly normal, as it's a very rewarding role yet there are no guidelines to follow.
Kids Now doesn’t have all the answers, but it does allow Goulburn Valley parents to share their experiences and challenges that can give understanding and hope for other families in similar situations.
Such as Euroa parents Irais Trejo Medécigo and Alex Tsymbalov, who share their story about the initial shock of wondering how they were going to raise a deaf child to the new and wonderful world they now live in. Turn to page 4.
Cris and Damien Stevens-Todd kindly share their journey negotiating surrogacy to make their happy family dream come true. See page 8.
For Kaare Glass and his partner Courtney, their community wrapped around them when they began a challenging time as new parents. Read their story on page 14.
If you are looking for something different for your child to learn, Kids Now introduces you to Jason Triggs, a skilled puppeteer. Find out more on page 16.
Or maybe your child would like to learn ballet, try their skills at Little Aths, hockey or squash? Turn to pages 23 to 26 for all the details.
So, parents, grab a cuppa, sit down (we know it’s not always easy to find time!) and enjoy reading Kids Now — the magazine that’s created just for you.
