Sy gee ook waardevolle raad wat sy deur die jare in die sakewêreld geleer het.

Hierdie episode is die gevolg van talle boodskappe versoeke van luisteraars van 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon. Nageboorte depressie. Post-partum depressie. Méér as net "baby blues" - en meer algemeen as wat ons almal besef. En ten spyte daarvan dat dit so baie van ons raak, steeds nie iets waaroor ons graag praat nie.

Gerda deel haar eie storie oor nageboorte depressie, iets wat sy ook as kind beleef het toe haar ma daaraan gely het.Sy verduidelik waarom dit gebeur, wat jy kan doen (vooraf, tydens en na die tyd) en waarom dit nooit te laat is om in te gryp nie.Ons praat ook oor hoe PPD ook mans en pa's raak; en hoe jy jou man, vriendinne of kollegas kan bystaan wanneer jy die tekens raaksien.This episode is the result of many messages and requests from listeners of 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon.Postpartum depression... It's more than just the "baby blues" – and more common than we all realize.Despite affecting so many of us, it’s still something we are often reluctant to talk about. But in this episode, Daniëlla and clinical psychologist Gerda Kriel talk openly and without hesitation. Gerda shares her own story of postpartum depression, something she also experienced as a child when her mother suffered from it. She explains why it happens, what you can do (before, during, and after), and why it’s never too late to intervene. We also discuss how PPD affects men and fathers too, and how you can support your husband, friends, or colleagues when you recognize the signs.- Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Dat skermtyd 'n rol gaan speel in jou kleuter, kind en tiener se lewe, is byna onvermydelik. En hoewel amper elke ouer dit soms gebruik om ons te help om "dinge gedoen te kry", gaan dit dikwels gepaard met skuldgevoelens. In dié episode probeer ons riglyne skep vir gebalanseerde skermtyd. Arbeidsterapeut Carla Grobler deel die waarskuwingstekens wat jou kan help identifiseer of jou kind se skermtyd hulle negatief beïnvloed, en gee ook raad oor hoe om die kwessie aan te takel. Ons bespreek verskillende soorte skermtyd en die impak daarvan, en fokus op die alternatief—hoe om skermtyd te vervang met speel. Deur die gesprek probeer ons praktiese planne maak oor hoe gesinne skerms kan gebruik sonder om tyd saam prys te gee.
That screen time will play a role in your toddler, child, and teenager's life is almost inevitable. And while nearly every parent uses it at times to help us get things done, it often comes with feelings of guilt. In this episode, we try to create guidelines for balanced screen time. Occupational therapist Carla Grobler shares the warning signs that can help you identify if your child's screen time is negatively affecting them, and also offers advice on how to tackle the issue. We discuss different types of screen time and their impacts, and focus on the alternative—how to replace screen time with play. Through the conversation, we try to create practical plans for how families can use screens without sacrificing time together.

Ouerskap het Karlien van Jaarsveld verander. Haar gestroop en omgedop.
In hierdie episode van 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon gesels Karlien met Daniella oor die verskillende fasette van ma-wees. Sy moes immers al baie trotseer - haar tweeling, Daniël en Eliah, is vroeg gebore en sy moes hulle toe hulle ouer word, ook lei deur 'n egskeiding. Daarna het sy 'n miskraam gehad op 19 weke.
Later telkens met klein Elah hospitaal toe jaag to 'n seldame siekte by die dogtertjie gediagnoeer is. En haar jongste, Johannes Samuel, was 'n "lockdown baba".
Maar, vertel Karlien in die onderhoud, dit alles het haar gesin en haar geloof net versterk - en ten spyte van die moeilike dae, geniet sy haar huis vol kinders, lag en lewe.
Parenthood has changed Karlien van Jaarsveld. Laid her Bare and brought her back to life again.
In this episode of 'n Ma & 'n Mikrofoon, Karlien talks with Daniella about the different facets of being a mother. She has had to endure a lot—her twins, Daniël and Eliah, were born prematurely, and she had to guide them through her divorce as they grew older. She then had a miscarriage at 19 weeks.
Later, she had to rush little Elah to the hospital multiple times after the girl was diagnosed with a rare disease. Her youngest, Johannes Samuel, was a "lockdown baby."
But, Karlien shares in the interview, all of this has only strengthened her family and her faith—and despite the difficult days, she enjoys her house full of children, laughter, and life.

Om 'n werkende ma te wees voel soms asof jy in die sirkus is, en 10 balle gelyk in die lug probeer hou. Maar hoe gemaak wanneer die balle begin val?
Daniëlla gesels in hierdie episode met bedryfsielkundige Elne Janse Van Rensburg van Moms At Work oor hoe 'n werkende ma balans (of die gebrek daaraan!) moet benader, moeilike keuses kan maak en haar nuwe identiteit vind en vestig wanneer sy terugkeer werk toe ná 'n baba. Elne praat ons ook moed in om vir ons kinders 'n voorbeeld te wees en te wys: "Kyk, ons kán moeilike goed doen".

Liézel Els se tweeling, Lia en Nelius, is nog nie eers 3 jaar oud nie, en sy't reeds 'n leeftyd se uitdagings agter die rug.
Reeds vóór hulle geboorte moes Liézel (41) vir haar kinders begin baklei: As enkellopende vrou wat bitter graag 'n ma wou word, is sy deur ronde op ronde van fertiliteitsbehandeling.
Maar net enkele weke na hulle geboorte, moes Liézel hoor Lia het 'n uiters seldsame toestand, een wat behels dat haar brein nie ten volle ontwikkel het nie.
Daarna het nog uitdagings voorgelê: Om genoeg geld te kry vir die behandeling. Om tussendeur dit als voltyds te werk. En om een van die land se grootste mediese fondse aan te vat toe hulle Lia se behandeling afkeur. Liézel praat openhartig met Daniëlla oor die uitdagings van enkelma wees, van sorg vir 'n kind met spesiale behoeftes, en om elke keer op te staan wanneer die lewe jou wil platslaan.
WEBBLAD: https://miraclesforlia.com/
Liézel Els' twins, Lia and Nelius, are not even 2 years old yet, and she has already faced a lifetime of challenges.
Even before their birth, Liézel (41) had to start fighting for her children: as a single woman who desperately wanted to become a mother, she went through round after round of fertility treatment.
But just a few weeks after their birth, Liézel had to hear that Lia had an extremely rare condition, one that means her brain did not fully develop. After that, more challenges lay ahead: getting enough money for the treatment, working full-time in between everything, and taking on one of the country's largest medical funds when they denied Lia's treatment.
Liézel speaks with Daniëlla about the challenges of being a single mother, caring for a child with special needs, and getting back up every time life tries to knock you down.
