Recommendations for children’s books

Hi!
I’d love your recommendations for favorite children’s books to instill a love of animals? I’m looking for stories that show animals (particularly ‘farm’ animals) through a lens of compassion, showing them with feelings and intelligence and love.

My little one is 13 months so it could be baby/toddler books or older, we’d love to start building a collection!

Not for profit daycares

Hi there! We are currently looking at daycare and are in the very fortunate position to have a few daycares with availability for us!

My question is around not-for-profit centres (Goodstart, C&K and the like). Are staff paid better there, do they have more benefits or training, more support, or anything like that?

I’m leaning towards a not-for-profit because it “feels” like a more ethical option, maybe staff are paid and treated better versus the shiny new for-profit centre, or are they all the same at the end of the day?

I’d love to understand the ins and outs, if anyone has insight.

How much can agents see about a buyer?

Hi! I’d love to know how much an agent can look up about prospective buyers in their database/s. I had a weird experience recently where an agent had info about our current property, when all they knew about me was my name/phone number which I provided at an open house? It got me rattled because I didn’t realise agents could see what properties you own or other info like that.

Thanks for any insight!

One year old still not taking to solids

Hi! I’d love advice or stories from anyone who has experienced similar?

Our girl just turned one and still hasn’t taken to solids. She will very happily refuse most meals and seems totally disinterested in food.

She likes puree texture a bit better, she’ll attempt/eat maybe 70% offered. Any finger foods or other textures are almost always a total fail. She’ll touch them maybe half the time (mostly just to throw them on the floor), she’s even less likely to put in her mouth, and on the rare occasion she does taste something she almost always spits it back out.

We’re getting so disheartened with her lack of interest in solids and starting to feel worried now she’s over one. We’re keeping mealtimes light, fun, no pressure, but she still often gets upset at the table and refuses to even touch the food other than to throw it on the ground.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Did your little one turn a corner or did they turn into a food adverse/picky eater?

Would also love any advice! I’m stressed!

Hi! My family is moving from the southside to north Brisbane. On the weekends we love getting out and spotting koalas in our local area! We know most of the koala spots in the south but would love to hear where they can be found on the northside?
