The ASG Parent and Child Show, New Zealand's most popular parenting Show for everything from pregnancy to primary school, is returning to Christchurch on 18-19 August 2007.
The Parent and Child Show, now in its 14th year, showcases products, services, support groups and information sources to enhance, inspire and support those in their early years of parenthood.
Headlining this year's Parent and Child Show seminar programme is Diane Levy, author of the best selling book 'Of course I love you... now go to your room'. This internationally renowned counsellor, family therapist, speaker and author will be sharing valuable insights with parents on when to growl, when to cuddle, and how to discipline your child.
This year, Bananas in Pyjamas will be performing their brand new item, Bananas in Tutus! The yellow bananas in their striped PJs are sure to be as popular as ever. Children of all ages will be entertained by the interactive kids' boogie on the Musical Stage, and the spellbinding illusions of Nickelby the Magician. A non-stop programme of dancing, storytelling and activities will amuse and engage children and parents alike.
Further exciting and informative seminars are available to educate visitors to the ASG Parent and Child Show on topics such as toilet training, bedtime challenges and tantrums. Parents are also able to have all their questions answered about breastfeeding, CPR and making homes safe for children.
As well as offering information and support, the ASG Parent and Child Show has more than 90 exhibitors all under one roof. Back this year, The Baby Factory, ASG, Huggies and Treasures are long-time exhibitors and always favourites with show visitors. A vast array of companies, products and services will be on show specialising in everything from education, health and nutrition to baby toys, accessories, clothing and much more. New exhibitors for 2007 include: Cheekybubs, who are showcasing the new Podee hands-free feeding system; Mocka Chair, who introduce an extremely versatile highchair; and Bodinapod, who have developed an innovative 3-in-1 sleeping package for kids. Also new to the ASG Parent and Child Show is WorldWear, who have a delightful range of European baby and toddler clothing available.
