    How to Deal with the Loss of a Family Member

    When we face the loss of a loved one, especially a child, or a parent, it might be the most confusing process in our lives - and chances are, most of us are just not prepared for such events to ever happen. Sometimes, all we need is a little guidance to work through difficult times, together. Join us for this special Bereavement Series where we speak to professional counsellors & experts, to be better equipped - mentally, emotionally, and for the actual practical implications - when a loved one passes. Our guest this week, Carin Marcus, shares her knowledge as a Clinical social worker (with over 25 years of experience) on bereavement. Over the next few months, we'll be presenting our support series for handling grief in various circumstances. Brought to you by Epi-Max Baby & Junior - Our Family, for Your Family. Sponsored by Curaprox and supported by Jacaranda FM. The following episode contains sensitive subject matter for someone that has lost a loved one. We have interviewed professional experts on each topic, and taken extra care to cover the subjects with sensitivity.

    Is The Dummy bad? Some Facts...

    I never thought a discussion about pacifiers (dummies), and thumb sucking would open my eyes to the incredible ways in which those aspects influence my child's dental health, breathing and speech. It's the irony of the passive lurker: how a (wrong) dummy habit could alter the entire palate of my child's mouth, leading to a variety of health problems later in life. In this Podcast we are joined by TWO experts - paediatric dentist, Dr Farah Seedat, and Janay-Alexander Gilchrist, a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and Breathing Method Practitioner. "Please trust in nature, we are created to heal naturally!" says Janay. Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
