Big Kids: How To Make Your Kid A Useful Ally

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Big Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is. Confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises. If you aren't a First Nations person how can you help your kids become good allies?  Mitch Tambo is a performer, presenter, proud Gamilaraay Man, stepfather, UNICEF ambassador. And he thinks the answer to healing our country is through music. Through the power of performance, Mitch hopes our kids embrace not only his culture but their own. So what can we learn from him and his music this NAIDOC week?  Plus on parenting mentors, what if you have the perfect child in every way, but you still get a little disappointed when they don't get outstanding grades?  LINKS You can find out more about Mitch's empowerment initiative, Walanbaa online at: www.walanbaa.com CREDITS Hosts: Holly Wainwright & Andrew Daddo Guest: Mitch Tambo Producer: Mikayla Floriano  CONTACT US Send your parenting dilemmas to [email protected] Looking for a community of like-minded parents?
