Nicole. About the North West Sydney Multiple Birth Association Founded in 1972, North West Sydney Multiple Birth Association (NWSMBA) is a volunteer run, not-for-profit community association that provides members with support from other member families around the issues relating to raising multiple birth children. Our goals are to provide a means of communication for sharing information on the care and raising of multiple birth children and to provide regular social meetings and functions for our members. 3

Important Announcement regarding COVID-19, Events & Fees. Even at the best of times, families of multiples can experience social isolation, contributing to a higher incidence of depression and anxiety for mums AND dads. Now more than ever it is important we stay connected and look out for each other, as the social distancing policies have reduced opportunities for families to receive practical help from friends and family. NWSMBA Events & Services. NWSMBA is committed to the health and safety of its members and the wider community, and as such supports the social distancing measures currently in place. Unfortunately this has meant that we have had to cancel our face-to-face events for the foreseeable future. We are working hard to think outside the box on ways to stay connected and support our members. AMBA's national board has secured the sponsorship of LogMeIn who has supplied each affiliated club with access to their GoToMeeting video conferencing product. Through this platform, we can continue to offer regular catch ups in an online format. ● NPMT and Playdays will be run at the same time as usual. Our coordinators are busy working out appropriate content and guest speakers. See the Facebook event postings for the link to join online. ● Our Expectant Parent Evenings will continue to run as scheduled using GoToMeeting. Participants will be emailed the link and instructions on how to join upon registration. ● Mums Night Out won't be the same without the chocolate, so instead we're offering a monthly Virtual Pyjama Party. This will be held on the third Tuesday of each month and is open to all parents (not just mums!). See the Facebook event for the link to join. ● Committee meetings (and the AGM) will continue to run as scheduled using the GoToMeeting platform. We are fortunate to have been using this for the last couple of years, so the transition for full online meetings has been smooth. All our online events can be joined via the below links. Please keep in mind that other clubs may be using the GoToMeeting license outside of these times, so it is important we do not log in unless it is our scheduled event. (continued on next page) To join the above events from your computer, mobile phone or tablet device: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/673196829 You can also dial in using your phone. Australia: +61 2 8355 1040 Access Code: 673-196-829 New to GoToMeeting? Get the app now and be ready when your first meeting starts: https://global.gotomeeting.com/install/673196829 4

Important Announcement regarding COVID-19, Events & Fees. Other AMBA online events: In addition to our club events, there are some additional events being offered by AMBA. ● AMBA NSW is hosting a weekly online catch up for families on Wednesday evenings at 8:30pm. We will share the link regularly on our closed Facebook group, or join here: https://gotomeet.me/AMBANSW ● AMBA is also working on a series of webinars that are free for all AMBA members. We will share the details as they come through. Membership fees and renewals: Over the next few months, membership will be due for renewal for many of our members. At the April committee meeting, the committee unanimously voted for the following: ● All membership renewals will be deferred until June. The issue of renewal deferrals will be reassessed at the July Committee meeting. Please note when you log into your MyAMBA portal account your membership status will say expired... Don't worry, you are still a member and can access the usual benefits. ● In addition, renewals and new membership fees will be discounted by $10 to compensate members for the unfortunate need to cancel face-to-face events. We will be able to cover this discount as we will have a reduction in venue hire expenses for term 2, however we are still obliged to pay AMBA affiliation fees and our insurance premiums at a cost of approximately $11 per member. We would like to encourage any members who are experiencing financial hardship at the time of renewal to contact one of our committee members. Like most people around the world we are all trying to adjust to a \"new normal\". This is new for all of us so please be kind to yourselves. Just like the difficult phases of adapting to life with multiples this too shall pass, and we will come out stronger on the other side. If you are struggling and feeling overwhelmed please feel safe in reaching out to our wonderful NWSMBA community. Nicole Chapman, President NWSMBA, On behalf of the NWSMBA Committee. 5

New Parent Morning Tea We've had an eventful Term 1 at New Parent Morning Tea with in-person and virtual catch-ups! It could be said we broke the drought with desperately needed rain cancelling our planned Water Play activity. We'll just have to wait till summer! We then moved indoors with our first guest speaker for Term 1, Sam of Littles Child Restraints. He shared his invaluable knowledge and expertise on car seats and installation. To celebrate International Women's Day, our final guest was Carrie of Sydney Women's Physiotherapy. Thanks to Carrie's advice, we're taking back control of our post-baby bodies, looking after our back, core and pelvic floor by lifting safely and strengthening key areas. Self-isolation didn't stop us from having a virtual Teddy Bear's Picnic, with cupcakes, tea and teddies in the comfort of our own homes. Lastly, we closed off Term 1 with The Wiggles Watch Party; a simultaneous concert of The Wiggles video clips streamed into our own homes. We'll still be looking to connect with each other and local experts in Term 2. Look out for the Facebook invites for our virtual catch-ups! A special shout out to our first-time visitors the Rees, Samuel and King families. Looking forward to continuing to share our multiples journeys together!

Playdays We have had a busy term at Playdays with lots of people offering assistance to us from correct car seat installs to Cheeky Monkeyz who ran a sports session. Shawn and Liam from Cheeky Monkeyz had all the little ones moving and smiling and hope to return for regular visits and more fun when they can. We look forward to seeing the little friendships continue to blossom and develop for the rest of the year. I encourage every parent to come along and enjoy a chat while the children play, it’s always a fun morning. See you when it’s safe to mix.

Multiple Birth Awareness Week Better Together The week of the 15th of March saw us celebrate Multiple Birth Awareness Week. This year’s theme was “Better Together”. This is in recognition that if it takes a village to raise a baby, it takes a city to raise multiples! From our little local NWSMBA “tribe” to our many family and friends that have helped us raise our children, whether it’s dropping off meals when the babies were little, to helping get to the variety of sporting commitments of our school aged kids. Many of us had plans to attend AMBA NSW’s event at Raging Waters on the 22nd, however due to the social distancing measures introduced at the time to minimise the spread of the CovID-19 virus, this popular event had to be cancelled. In the meantime, AMBA, AMBA NSW, and NWSMBA are developing online events to stay connected. We are lucky that NWSMBA has some great support from local businesses, who have helped us be “Better Together”. Their knowledge which they have shared so readily with us has been invaluable. As a thank you to these businesses, we have listed them below. The Talbot Centre is a multidisciplinary mental health practice that provides a broad range of health services for children, families, adolescents and adults. Our services include psychology, occupational therapy, dietetics and a paediatrician. Our clinicians have a special interest in providing assessment and treatment for eating and feeding issues, anxiety, parenting, child development and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCD, tic disorders etc). Our centre is well known for its unique approach to working with children and families such that, where appropriate, we will engage with your child's broader community and support networks (e.g., families, schools, GP, other health professionals) to ensure better outcomes, increased resilience and long term health improvement.

Mindfulness for Children An extract from The Conversation Feeling anxious or worried sometimes is part of healthy development. But at times, children may feel more anxious or worried than usual. Climate change, the bush fires, and COVID-19 may have contributed to and continue to fuel increased anxiety. We can support children during these times and also keep an eye out for when they might need more help than we can give. Iftheire anxiety is interfering with typical childhood activities or family life, it could be time to see a GP, paediatrician or psychologist. Mindfulness is the regular and repeated act of directing our attention to the present moment. Mostly, our attention follows whatever is most interesting; mindfulness helps us to focus without judging ourselves when we can’t. It’s commonly used to reduce stress, improve well-being, and address mental health. In a broader sense, the goal of mindfulness is to help us sit with our experiences whether they are pleasant, unpleasant, or somewhere in between. Here are three easy mindfulness activities for kids. 15
