Today we 5 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: are talking about the weather. 6 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 3: As you can see, gotch rain headed and I've got 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 3: my son head on. Very good. One's from Tamworth, Wine's 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 3: from Newfoundland because for a lot of families, the forecast 9 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 3: basically decides the mood of the house and whether or 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 3: not we go outside. Now we're going to talk about 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: the weather, a lot about the weather. But before we 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: get into that, I have been trying to get up 13 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 3: early early every morning. What are we talking four thirty ish, 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 3: quarter to five to exercise. It's still dark. It's still dark, 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: and I haven't achieved. Okay. I've always been a regular exerciser, 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 3: and since Asher it's been sporadic it's harder to get 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 3: that time. And what's been happening is at about three 18 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: o'clock every morning Asher, I get a little tap of 19 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: my shoulder and he's woken up, and he comes into 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 3: our room and then climbs up and hops himTo bed. 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: To go back to sleep, yesep, But because he's waken 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 3: himself up, it takes him me forever to settle again. 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: And just as he's settling is the time that alarm 24 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 3: will go off. For my alarm will go off, and 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: I'm trying to get up and go and then I think, well, 26 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: I can't because if I get out of bed now 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: he's going to wake up. It's four thirty quarter to 28 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 3: five in the morning, and he won't get back to sleep. 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: And so you know, there's dad bod. He literally every 30 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: morning will come in around that time. Now we never 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 3: used to. And I don't know what's waking him up. 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if he's getting cold, I don't know. 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 3: I don't know why. But he has been a little 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: bit scared of the dark, which he never was before. 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: So I've got a little night light which we won't 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: don't put on when he first goes to bed, but 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: then we say, once you're asleep, we'll put your nightlight on, 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: so then he knows we've come in. Yea. But whether 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: that actually has a reverse effect when he wakes up 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 3: and he sees the lighters out. 41 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: Here, You could exercise at three am, But do he 42 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 2: needs you to fall back asleep though, like you are you? 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 4: Well? 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: He next you is part of what kind of snuggles 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: up to me. And then if a couple of times 46 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: I have managed to slide out, and then I get 47 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: a pillow and I push it up against him, so 48 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: he feels like he's still kind of yeah, you know, 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: I'm still sort of there. Yeah, so I've managed it 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: a few times, but most of the time I don't 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: want to try it, just in case he then wakes 52 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: up fully and then we've got a really long day 53 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 3: ahead of us. 54 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: Did I notice this morning it seems like it's already 55 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: a little bit darker. It was six o'clock on that 56 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: and it was still dark dark. 57 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, is what happens now. 58 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: It does get times going against you unfortunately.

So in our house, the weather is 117 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 6: something that we sort of celebrate on an almost daily basis. 118 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 6: Like we have this big Galileo thermometer that little colored 119 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 6: balls that kind of rise and fall with the temperature. 120 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 6: So the kids can get up in the morning and 121 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 6: look at the the mom say, oh, what kind of 122 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 6: weather is it going to be today? 123 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 5: Is it hot or cold? And what are we going 124 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 5: to wear? And just those little moments in the every 125 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 5: day that we just we love celebrating. 126 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 6: It might be often with the changing seasons, you know, 127 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 6: the first frost, Oh my gosh, there's. 128 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 5: Little icicles on the grass. 129 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 6: Let's go and have a look at it, or look 130 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 6: at these. Have you ever looked at a jew drop 131 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 6: close up? Have a look at this jew drop. It's 132 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 6: just such a wonderful thing. Or the often on it's 133 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 6: the walk to school. You know, we might notice the 134 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 6: signs of spring, the first flowers blooming of the season, 135 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 6: and it's it's a real I mean, we just love it. 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 6: But I think it's also the bigger picture. What I 137 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 6: think we're getting out of it, and what I think 138 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 6: the kids are getting out of it, is the ability 139 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 6: to kind of notice the magic in every day and 140 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 6: that idea of like, we don't need things to be 141 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 6: perfect in life all the time. You know, the weather's 142 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 6: never always going to be perfect, and life isn't always 143 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 6: going to be perfect, and so we're sort of using 144 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 6: the weather to teach that lesson to our kids, of like, 145 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 6: let's always notice the magic and find that joy in 146 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 6: every season. 147 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: That's really interesting because I think we automatically probably have 148 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 3: some negative thoughts about the weather when you wake up, 149 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: what is it's cold today? What are we going to wear? 150 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: And I guess that that then influences how our children 151 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: will naturally think and feel about the weather as well. 152 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: So that's a really interesting point that you make, A 153 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: really lovely point is to take look at those moments 154 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: what the weather's actually doing. Because in our house, I 155 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: love the idea about that, what's it called a galileo. Yeah, 156 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: because we I just asked Google, Hey, Google, what's the 157 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: weather today? And Asha with a little boys five it 158 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: used to go, hey Google, what a weather today? 159 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 5: Oh my god? Google to tell you look how the windows? 160 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know exactly. But that's that's the thing, isn't 161 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: it that we can actually we know that we can 162 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: figure it out for ourselves, but we get so hung 163 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: up on it going to be raining, it's going to 164 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: be cold, it's going to be hot. So are there 165 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: things that well, I mean you've kind of said it 166 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: that you can do those things to say, let's look 167 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: outside today when we wake up and what do you see? 168 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I think also it's about celebrating what we 169 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 6: see to an extent as well, because this, as you say, 170 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 6: the connotation is, you know, rain gets a bad rap. Actually, 171 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys have ever done Rain, 172 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 6: Rain Go Away, but I really don't like that song. 173 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 6: It's so it's sort of teaching children that the rain 174 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 6: is a bad thing, and you know, and we sort 175 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 6: of celebrate if we've got a cold. 176 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 5: Front coming in at home. Oh kids, we've got a 177 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: cold front coming in today. This is going to be great. 178 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 6: The flowers are going to be so happy because the 179 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 6: garden's going to get some rain. Like how exciting, you know, 180 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 6: to celebrate that and to flip the script a little bit, 181 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 6: because we do need all of the different types of weather, 182 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 6: and you know, in the same way that we need 183 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 6: all the different types of emotions in life as well. 184 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 6: And so it's that I think it's that idea of 185 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 6: embracing what the day throws at us. And I think 186 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 6: the weather really does can teach us that. 187 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: Some of my fondest child memories are when it was raining, Yes, 188 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: like being out on the street and I still remember 189 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: find some little bit of bark and sending it down 190 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 2: the gutter because it was roaring and we're seeing the 191 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: storms inside the house. 192 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: But have we got a bit? 193 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: I mean, every podcast we speak about connection in some 194 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 2: way or another comes up in every single chat we have. 195 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: But are we too busy and are we not? Have 196 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: we just lost connection with the weather therefore lost the 197 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: sense of enjoyment out of stuff like because out of 198 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 2: rain and yeah, I mean hale and lightning can be 199 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: a bit scary but still beautiful in a way. 200 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 6: You speak about childhood memories growing up in Mount Gambia. 201 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 6: I used to love running around collecting haile in a bucket. Yeah, 202 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 6: it's wonderful, icy stuff falling from the sky. But I 203 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 6: think we have lost connection. You know that the stats 204 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 6: are pretty sad. I think now it's less than half 205 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 6: of Ozzy kids play outside on most days. And I 206 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 6: think there's this idea that we feel like we want 207 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 6: to protect them, keep them inside, but we're actually doing 208 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 6: them a disservice. I remember I was touring daycare centers 209 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 6: when my little boy was going. I was going back 210 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 6: to work and I needed to find a daycare center 211 00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 6: and I was having a look at them and they 212 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 6: were we're all very proud, and you know that I 213 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 6: don't know what they're like where you guys are. They 214 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 6: have the sort of the fake grass and the iPads, 215 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,599 Speaker 6: and they were very proud of how they protected the 216 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 6: children from the weather. And they said, you know, if 217 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 6: the UV ratings above whatever it was, they're not allowed outside. 218 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 6: And if it's too wet, they're not allowed outside. And 219 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 6: if it's too cold, they're not allowed outside. 220 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: And it's too windy outside. 221 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 6: I came away thinking, well, when are the children are 222 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 6: allowed outside? And I think there is this bit of 223 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 6: a I don't know whether we've raised a generation of 224 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 6: children who think that drizzle is dangerous or maybe. I think, 225 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 6: you know, and studies have shown that a lot of 226 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 6: parents have those concerns, so, you know, safety concerns about 227 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 6: letting children, and of course we're not talking about extreme weather, 228 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,599 Speaker 6: which is in a different category. But this idea of 229 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 6: we're trying to keep them safe, but we're actually it's 230 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 6: kind of having the opposite effect. 231 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I think maybe is apparently 232 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 3: worry about our children wetting their shoes. Yeah, but I 233 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: mean all as share every wants to do is jump 234 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: in the puddle. 235 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: Yeah. 236 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 3: And Laura, my wife and I we just allow it 237 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: and go great, we just deal with that later, Yeah, 238 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 3: because that's the play for him. That's fun, that's experiencing 239 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 3: it all. That's and we're concerned about doing the washing, yeah, 240 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: which is really inhibiting his experience. 241 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 6: It's hard when you've got them all dressed up and 242 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 6: you can just see them eyeing off with a big, 243 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 6: beautiful puddle and you just know where it's going. But 244 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 6: I mean the reality is they get so much out 245 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 6: of it. If we can try to allow for those 246 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 6: little windows of wonder. You know, obviously sunny days is 247 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 6: a no brainer because we know there's so much to 248 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 6: be gained. They get their vitamin D in, their serotonin 249 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 6: boost and all of those things. But playing in the 250 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,959 Speaker 6: rain is so great for kids because they learn that resilience, 251 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 6: they learn how to problem solve, they learn how to 252 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 6: find joy in less than ideal conditions. As you said, Locky, 253 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 6: some of your favorite memories and the puddle jumping, that spontaneity. 254 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 6: Playing in mud is great for kids, even down to 255 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 6: the microbes in the soils, great for their microplilmes in 256 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 6: our gut health. You know, it's actually good this idea 257 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 6: that kids meant to be sort of clean and pristine 258 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 6: and that kind of thing. Really that it's good for 259 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 6: them to have some dirt under their fingernails and some 260 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 6: crumpled leaves in their pockets. And you know, playing in 261 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 6: the wind is great for them for their spatial awareness 262 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 6: and their balance and running gross motor skills, leaning into 263 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 6: the gusts, and there's so many benefits for all of 264 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 6: the skills that we want our kids to have. The resilience, 265 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 6: the adaptability, that sense of playfulness in life. The weather 266 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 6: can actually teach us a lot of those skills if. 267 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 5: We allow it to happen. 268 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 3: And I guess that's then as parents being prepared that 269 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: if it's truely put the raincoat on. But we're going 270 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: We're still going out. We're still going to go outside, 271 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: We're still going to do things. And you know, like 272 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 3: you said, we're not talking about severe weather. But I 273 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: remember growing up in primary school and a windy day 274 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: everyone to go a bit a squarely, like everyone actually goes. 275 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,719 Speaker 5: I think that's what I'm like. 276 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 6: I think the wind kind of rattles to your lucas 277 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 6: throws you around. And I think that when I think, 278 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 6: because I often think about whether in terms of emotions 279 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 6: as well, and I think a wind is sort of 280 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 6: a bit a little bit of confusion and everything sort 281 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 6: of gets thrown up in the air and you don't 282 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 6: quite know where it's going to fall down. Again, I 283 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 6: think we have more in common with the weather than 284 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 6: what we probably realize. Yeah, you know a lot of 285 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 6: us do ride the highs and lows of the seasons 286 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 6: and those natural shifts, and might be more a matter 287 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 6: of being open to it and going, you know what, 288 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 6: it's a windy day to day I'm feeling a bit silly, 289 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 6: and that's okay. 290 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: That's right. When you're presenting the weather, do you think 291 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 3: about children who might maybe near the television watching. Is 292 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 3: that something you're conscious of or you just have to 293 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 3: get through the facts of the weather, And yeah, it's 294 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: up to parents to kind of manage the severity of things. 295 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 5: It's a bit of both. 296 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 6: Now that I have my own kids, I think about 297 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 6: it more. I think when I first started weather presenting, 298 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 6: it probably wasn't on my mind. But having my own 299 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 6: kids now and I know what it's like when your 300 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 6: child overhears something on the radio or the telly and 301 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 6: they say, oh, what's that any. 302 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 5: Sort of thing? Oh gosh, you know, so I'm more 303 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 5: just now. 304 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 6: I try to present the facts in a pretty matter 305 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 6: of fact kind of a way, more of a friendly 306 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 6: heads up, not sort of the dunk d d you know, 307 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 6: try not to overcook it, but just give that a 308 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 6: friendly expert, letting people know, giving them heads up of 309 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 6: what's coming in in a way that I do. Try 310 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 6: to imagine that I'm speaking to a broad range of people, 311 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 6: from young people through to the elderly people, and they 312 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 6: all do need that information, So try and have a 313 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 6: bit of a straight bat. 314 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 315 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: I know. This happened with us with Ashure when there 316 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: were the fires in Victoria and he heard about it 317 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 3: on the news and was asking questions about it, and 318 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: he wasn't scared about it, was intrigued by it. And 319 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: what a kind of all meant with things like fires 320 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: and floods and all those extreme weather conditions. How do 321 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: you present that to children in a way that doesn't 322 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 3: scare them, but in a way they understand, Yeah, totally, 323 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: and because. 324 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 5: They know right like they know some things up yeah, exactly. 325 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, and they can sense what we're feeling as parents too, 326 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 6: So there's no point kind of hiding it all together. 327 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 6: But I think it's that age appropriate explanations. So you know, 328 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 6: if they're the flood, it's a simple explanation. Sometimes when 329 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 6: it rains too much, the river spills over, and that's 330 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 6: why we move somewhere safe. That's why we go to 331 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 6: Grandma's house when there's a weather warning. So it's that 332 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 6: simple explanation of this is what can happen on a 333 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 6: hot windy day. You know, fires are good for keeping 334 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 6: us warm. Sometimes sometimes on a hot windy day, they 335 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 6: can spread through the land and when that happens, this 336 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 6: is what we do. So they're getting an understanding that 337 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 6: weather is there, but the grown ups have a plan 338 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 6: and the grown ups know what to do to keep 339 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 6: us safe. 340 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 5: Yeah. 341 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: I love that idea in general about the connection that 342 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: you can teach your kids about the weather. But then also, 343 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: like you said at the start, how it actually helps 344 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 2: everything around us. And you know, you walk past Brisbane 345 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: at the moment the footpaths are so dry, and celebrating 346 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: the rain when it comes rather than by going look 347 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: at the difference might. 348 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: Have a little bit of rain, can have absolutely And then. 349 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: Kids, we've just done a water song. Oh cool, in 350 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 2: more general about conserving water works. But I think that's 351 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: fantastic too, you because in terms of wasting water running 352 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: the tap or. 353 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, it it's so nourishing, Like if it was sunny 354 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 6: every day, life would be very boring and we would 355 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 6: have nothing to eat everything. We need running to make 356 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 6: everything grow. And that goes for life too. You know 357 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 6: how the stormiest periods in life often lead to the 358 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 6: greatest growth, and it's true of the weather. And of 359 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 6: course every storm does pass, and so we need to 360 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 6: have those moments of transition and restoring balance. And I 361 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 6: think it's you know, it's part of it's part of life, yeah, which. 362 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: Is the foundation of your book. Whatever the weather, we're 363 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: in this together, which is what you've talked about, the 364 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: association of weather and feelings and emotions. 365 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 366 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 3: So for you to write this book, what was the 367 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: real intention behind it? 368 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 6: It started between myself and my good friend Rebecca Ralph 369 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 6: and between us we've got five kids, and I remember 370 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: we're sitting up under a tree. Beck lives up in 371 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 6: northern Queensland, sitting under a tree, and I was talking 372 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 6: of I was having a bit of a rant talking about, 373 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 6: you know, because our kids were climbing in the trees, 374 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 6: and I was like, you know a lot of kids 375 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 6: aren't getting this, you know, don't climb trees anymore, talking 376 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 6: about how it's great for kids to be able to 377 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 6: get out whatever the weather and changing the approach to 378 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 6: life a little bit. 379 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 5: And told Beck that I'd had this idea. 380 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 6: For a book, and she messaged me a couple of 381 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 6: months later she said, can't get that idea out of 382 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 6: my head. She said, I really think you should write 383 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 6: that book, and if you want, maybe we could write 384 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 6: it together. And she had actually at that point been 385 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 6: going through some periods in her life with her family 386 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 6: where they had had a bit of a rough trot. 387 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,959 Speaker 6: She really needed to show up for some of her 388 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 6: family members, and she added the line, we're in this together, 389 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 6: whatever the weather, We're in this together. And I thought, Oh, 390 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 6: that is just exactly what our families and children need 391 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 6: to hear right now. 392 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 3: It's truly beauty. It's a beautiful book and beautifully illustrated 393 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 3: as well, tells a really lovely story. It's interesting, isn't it, 394 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 3: Because we are in life, we're thrown up all types 395 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 3: of things. When we wake up that day, we don't 396 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: know what the weather's going to be, and then we 397 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: also don't know what life is going to throw up 398 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 3: to us. And you know, it's a wonderful analogy. 399 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 5: Thank you. Yeah, it's a good one for kids. 400 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 6: Kids can get it really easily because they're already into 401 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 6: the weather and they already know what it means in 402 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 6: sunny days and rainy days, so it's pretty a pretty 403 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 6: easy step to sidestep into then explaining to kids some 404 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 6: days you will feel happy and sunny, and some days 405 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 6: we feel a bit gloomy and a bit sad and 406 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 6: all of those emotions. Some days mum might feel a 407 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 6: bit stormy, and all of those emotions are as natural 408 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 6: as the changing weather. And it helps to sort of 409 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 6: make kids not feel bad about the different emotions that 410 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 6: they're feeling because they understand that we need all of 411 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 6: the different types of emotions, and we need you know, 412 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 6: the rain and all. 413 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 5: Of those things. 414 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 6: And so I think they are getting it, you know, 415 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 6: Like I've had some librarians and some feedback from people 416 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 6: who've been reading it to kids saying, yeah, they're really 417 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 6: getting it, and they're getting that message of unconditional. 418 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 5: Love no matter what life throws at us. 419 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: It was beautiful. It has been hot, mean for months, 420 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: it's like it's. 421 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 6: Hot. 422 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: It hasn't rained. 423 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 5: We're prepared. 424 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: Have we got any like tips for I mean, it's 425 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,479 Speaker 2: just still hot. It's just been relentos. Yes, what are 426 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 2: some little activities we can make when it's just so hot? 427 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 2: I hope it finishes soon, because the. 428 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: Poor kids when they go to school for this first 429 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: first term, I. 430 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: Like, it's too hot. 431 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 3: Look like me now, my god, I know. 432 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 6: We when our kids went back to school this year, 433 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 6: it was like forty I think it was forty two degrees, 434 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 6: and it was just I felt so bad for them 435 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 6: and alarming. The reality is it's getting hotter, it's getting worse, 436 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 6: and so that we do need to learn to adapt. 437 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 6: I guess my rule is on those when I know 438 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 6: it's coming in as a hot day, I still know 439 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 6: I want the kids to be able to get outside 440 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 6: so that they're not inside all day, so. 441 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 7: I go early. 442 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 5: I think timing is key. 443 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 6: I'm not a big fan of I have seen some 444 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 6: families they want to go to the four y degrees 445 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 6: and they're like, oh, let's go to the beach.

I'm going to let 448 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 6: the kids have some backyard water play or jump on 449 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 6: the trampoline, get some energy out, get some fresh air, 450 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 6: and then I'm bringing them in for the afternoon. 451 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 5: And I'm saying, we're doing a movie day. What can 452 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: you do? 453 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, it should change soon. It's like we all 454 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 3: get surprised every year. It happens every year, and Ashua, 455 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: my little boy, gets so red in the face and 456 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 3: he doesn't want to stop running around. But you're right, 457 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 3: it's all about the timing, isn't it. And it's about 458 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 3: understanding through people like you when we watch the weather, Yeah, 459 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: understanding what the day is going to be to then 460 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 3: plan your day and plan around it to go, Okay, 461 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 3: well it's going to be really hot, so we get 462 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: out early, yep, and then we have other activities and 463 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 3: play we can do at home. Or it's going to 464 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 3: be raining, but you know what, let's prepare ourselves for it. 465 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: We're going to get out anyway and we're going to 466 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 3: have a fun time. 467 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 5: Absolutely. Yeah, there's a you know, a good saying. There's 468 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 5: no such thing as bad where they're just inappropriate clothing. 469 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 5: And I love that because we have it in the 470 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 5: boot of the car. 471 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 6: I've just got these like head to toe onesies like this, 472 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 6: this kind of made out of this plastic and off 473 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 6: we go. If it's been raining or the grass is wet, 474 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. They can run around and climb on 475 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 6: the rocks or whatever. 476 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 5: They want to do. 477 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 6: And then there's just removing that barrier. And you know, 478 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 6: a pair of old gum boots. You can pick them 479 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 6: up from Vinnie's for five bucks and off you go. 480 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's a really good idea. Do you think 481 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: that children in regional areas are still kind of outdoor 482 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 3: playing more than we are in the cities. 483 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 5: I think so. 484 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 6: I think sometimes it's even just access to space. Like 485 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 6: in our neighborhood, I feel like every patch of what 486 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 6: was once green grass is being filled in with developments, 487 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 6: and it's sort of the access to nature is shrinking, 488 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 6: I think in a lot of cities, whereas in the 489 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 6: you know, when I grew up in Mount Gambia, where 490 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 6: we were sort of just running around trying to catch 491 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 6: rabbits in the paddics, and I don't think we realized 492 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 6: how lucky we were to have that access to nature 493 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 6: and that connection to the outside world. But I think 494 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 6: we can bring it back, you know, it doesn't You 495 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 6: don't have to be packing the car and going on 496 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 6: a two week camping trip for us to find these 497 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 6: little moments of wonder, you know, in the city. It 498 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 6: can be as simple as helping children to connect with 499 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 6: what's happening around them.

And you can really do that from anywhere. 524 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 6: You know, at nighttime, we all look up at the 525 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 6: same stars. We can all go out and have a 526 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 6: look at the moon together. You know, whether you live 527 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 6: in the city or the middle of the outback, those 528 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 6: magical moments are there. 529 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 3: We just got to notice them and give ourselves time 530 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 3: to notice you insort of just rushing by, which is 531 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: you know what we do in life these days, don't 532 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: we actually don't look? They're saying, stop and smell the roses. Yeah, 533 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: it's exactly that, isn't it. 534 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 6: And it's always when you're in a hurry, like they'll 535 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 6: notice something. They'll notice like a flower blooming, and it's 536 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 6: always no. But I try to stop myself and I 537 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 6: say to people, just try and resist this because we're 538 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 6: so used to living. 539 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 5: At this fast paced run run race rates.

We've got to get to daycare 544 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 6: and just let them have that little window of wonder. 545 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 6: And you're going to get that window of wonder too 546 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 6: as the parent, because you're going to experience the look 547 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 6: on their face as they have a look at whatever 548 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 6: it is that they've noticed, might be a little bug 549 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 6: that they've spotted on a leaf and you're gonna that's 550 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 6: going to make your day better too. But I'd get 551 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 6: it because the urge is just nuh and you know what, 552 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 6: you might be late, it might be a few minutes late, 553 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 6: but it's worth it. 554 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 3: Yeah. Lauren was dropping Asher off to school this morning 555 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 3: and he wanted to park a bit further away. It 556 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: was a raining wonder part a bit further away from 557 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 3: the school because he wanted to ride his scooter. Ah, 558 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: And so he said, so mum, you you get the umbrella, 559 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 3: you put it over me, Like, well, what happens to me? 560 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: Said? 561 00:24:52,720 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 3: Will you just get wet? If he scootered and was 562 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: dry and lost was completely completely saturated. 563 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 5: Kids can be umbrella hogs. I've noticed this. They loved 564 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: to grab the umbrella. Okay, I guess. 565 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 3: I'll just when it actually says can I carry it? Dad? 566 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 3: And it's like, well, how is this gonna work? 567 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 7: And you're like. 568 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: Crouching down this umbrella. I guess this is kind of working. 569 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 3: But it's all the reminder, is it? Like everything you're 570 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: saying that, it's all new experiences for children. Yeah, when 571 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 3: they walking past and see one of those little yellow 572 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 3: weedy flashers, what they are and actually wants to collect 573 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: every single one along the way, which I'm sure the 574 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 3: counsels have you back just picking the weeds, but we 575 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 3: just end up with a bunch of weeds on our 576 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 3: kitchen bench for a week and watch them slowly die. 577 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: But he's loved every second of it. Just allow that 578 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 3: to be. 579 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 6: It's just I know, and because we've seen it a 580 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 6: hundred times, even something as simple as rain, right, Like 581 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 6: we've seen rain a hundred times. I remember the first 582 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 6: time my little boy saw rain, and I remember his 583 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 6: eyes like looking out. He must have been thinking, like, 584 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 6: what is this? 585 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 5: You know, you think about it. 586 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 6: Shiny wet stuff falling from the sky. That's magical, you know, 587 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 6: you forget that that wonder is there. And I think 588 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 6: that's the great thing about kids because they help us 589 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 6: to rediscover that magic. 590 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: We wouldn't have notice, and we've as parents and adults 591 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 3: have to be willing to notice as well, to stop 592 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 3: and actually look at the world through their eyes, which 593 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: is such a beautiful thing to do, if you give 594 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: yourself the time, it is, it's a gift. 595 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 5: But I get it. I mean, life is busy. 596 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: I did laugh before, and I didn't really mean to 597 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 2: when there was the nineteen percent of children climb trees today, 598 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 2: only because. 599 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 3: I thought who studied who came to that conclusion? 600 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 2: But then I hadn't thought of it that we're probably 601 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: a little bit scared of our kids climbing trees now, 602 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: but also that there's just not as many trees, which 603 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 2: is I can't wait, and I hope one day I 604 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 2: can have We don't have a tree in our yard. 605 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 2: All I want to do is plan a big, massive tree, 606 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: yes in the yard, and I hope I can do that. 607 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 2: But that's not very funny at all. 608 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 6: No, you know what, it's access to nature. Do you 609 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 6: know what My boy asked Santa for this year? A 610 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 6: fully grown tree. And he wanted a fully grown tree 611 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 6: in the backyard because when we moved into our house, 612 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 6: the people before us had removed all the trees. Don't 613 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 6: get me started on that. And he wanted a fully 614 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 6: grown tree so that he could climb a tree in 615 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 6: his backyard. And you think of you know, like I 616 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 6: loved climbing trees as a kid, and it wasn't just 617 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 6: something you kind of took it for granted. And now 618 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 6: you know, we did a story back on nine News 619 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 6: in Adelaide. Last week, I think about a group of 620 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 6: mums who were fighting because they wanted just one park 621 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 6: in their suburb. 622 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 5: Their suburb didn't have a park. 623 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 6: There was no green space for them to take their 624 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 6: kids to play, and they were trying to get a 625 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 6: petition going with the council of like can we have 626 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 6: a park? It's about values, isn't it where because we 627 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 6: need to value our well being and access to nature 628 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 6: is so important for hell development and well being. 629 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 5: It's a tricky one. 630 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: When Lauren and I got married, we had a wedding 631 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 3: planner who didn't think we had enough guests, and so 632 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 3: she wanted to put a tree. 633 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 4: To fill out the space, like real money, a big 634 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 4: tree in the middle of it. I said, I think, question, but. 635 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 3: I should have well, nature, someone would have climbed it. 636 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: She was an amazing wedding plan But yeah, yeah, he's 637 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: a lot of. 638 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,479 Speaker 5: You could start doing weddings. 639 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: You've written a beautiful alibi to accompanying the book. It's 640 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 3: really and I think that's I mean, that's what we 641 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: do here at Wiggles for children through learning songs and 642 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: great means for that and that's is that why you. 643 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 6: I love the idea of a parent or a grandparent 644 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 6: holding the child and swaying to the rhythm. 645 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 5: Of the song. 646 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 6: And just because it follows the words of the book, 647 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 6: and so they're going to hear that line, whatever the weather, 648 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 6: we're in this together, I love you now and I 649 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 6: love you forever. And you guys would know this as music, 650 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 6: it goes into a different part of the brain. And 651 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 6: that's why it's funny. You can be like you've ever been, 652 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 6: like driving along and a song comes on the radio, 653 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 6: you haven't heard it in twenty years, and you still 654 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 6: know every word, like yeah, because it's gone in. I'm 655 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 6: not a neuroscientist, but it's gone in a different pathway 656 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 6: and it's locked in.
