Radio star's surprising revelation about raising four girls (New Zealand Herald)

Radio Hauraki legend on realities of four daughters and a life of driving ugly mini vans.

But my older girls are really nurturing and motherly." "But what I will say for my youngest daughter is she's benefited the most financially. But I wouldn't have it any other way." "What I found, quite honestly, was the more we had, the easier it became. "'Oh, you'll be hanging out for a boy, Jase'. But I never did. If you've got sisters and brothers there's a lot more going on. Hoyte says, in his experience, having smaller age gaps means children will "have things in common, they'll entertain themselves, bond with each other. "Early parenthood, in terms of having your first child, is just an exercise in paranoia and anxiety ... you freak out about everything. "When you have siblings, they distract each other. "I remember when my eldest was born and one minute I'm Jason Hoyte, 'Guy', and the next minute I'm Jason Hoyte, 'Dad'. And that's quite a lot to get your head around. "So many people ask me that," says Hoyte, laughing. So you have to do it through experience.

A Kiwi teenager who went missing after she boarded a flight from Australia to New Zealand without her family knowing has been found.

Waka had urged Cooper to make contact with her family, emphasising she was not in trouble and they simply wanted to know she was safe. She also had a distinctive Māori tattoo on her right calf in the shape of a stingray. Cooper's family wasn't sure of her movements after landing in Auckland, but they suspected the former Trident High School student had returned to the Whakatāne area. Queensland police this morning were unaware Cooper had left Gladstone but by noon officers informed the family she had flown with Qantas from Gladstone to Brisbane. Cooper had said she was missing her friends in New Zealand, but said nothing that indicated she was planning to flee. On their way to the shops on return from the beach, Waka said they passed Cooper walking along the road towards home, leading the family to believe that's where she was headed.

Hamish and Kyle: On feeling SAD in winter (New Zealand Herald)

In this web series, psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald and Nutters Club co-host Hamish Williams look at mental health and how to navigate some of the more ...

They have a saying that there's no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. Inevitably the weather plays against you but it's still worth making the effort. That has a positive effect on our daily circadian rhythm, meaning our body clock feels like it's been properly awakened and our mood can be lifted by feeling more "active". This can be followed by navigating the various cancelled buses to then trundle along in the dark, still slightly aghast at the tired looking reflection of yourself in the large windows. "Ideally getting some sunlight directly on your eyeballs first thing in the morning," he tells me with his straightest clinician face ever. - Great Minds: Hamish and Kyle - On the inactivity of ...

Kyle MacDonald: My friend is fab, why does she always deny it? (New Zealand Herald)

Someone's negative view of themself can "protect" them from accepting compliments.

Because despite what you might feel, other people are the solution. Most importantly though, you don't have to believe it. They never make it in and so the person can be unmoved by them. Compliments, or indeed any kind of feedback from other people is nonetheless incredibly valuable. To see the world objectively as a human being is almost impossible. Nowhere is this more true than our idea of ourselves.
