Current Edition

latest

In the current edition of Our Kids... Our Future we take a look at Child Poverty around the world.UNICEF estimates that 356 million children live in extreme poverty. It is estimated that 1 billion children lack at least one essential necessity such as regular food, or clean water. We also take a look at The Forgotten Australian’s, a term referring to the estimated 500,000 children (a figure that includes child migrants and Indigenous Australians) who experienced care in institutions or outside a home in Australia during the 20th century. Following on, we look at Australia’s Social Media Restrictions. Plus more inside this edition.

Welcome

The Our Kids, Our Future & Back to School magazines aim to promote awareness and support of our most valuable future resource... Our Kids. The world in which our children are growing up in, is a vastly different one to the one we grew up in. The changes in our society, both good and bad, occur at a much faster pace and make not only the job of parenting an increasingly difficult one, but the road to learning, developing and surviving the journey to adulthood, a rocky one.
Guiding our kids through the minefield of peer pressures, changing moral beliefs, fast foods, inappropriate television viewing and education, to name just a few can be hard work. All of us, whether parents, family members or friends have a responsibility to all children. We focus on current issues in our publication that we hope you not only enjoy reading, but encourage you to pause in your busy day and think about the children in your world. The joy they bring you, the love and warmth, the funny things they do generate the hopes and dreams we have for them
