Welcome To Fans Of GTi Racing Girls
Welcome to Fans of GTi Racing Girls!
Stories My Nana Tells is proud to be a continuing sponsor of GTi Racing Girls team and to share the excitement of Targa racing with them.
What Do We Do?
We entertain, engage and educate children, through storytelling!
That is us, in a nutshell of eight words! But we do a great deal more than entertain, engage and educate children, through storytelling. We are not racing car drivers – but we are close!
As the writer of all the Stories My Nana Tells, I know quite a bit about cars and racing. One of my career highlights was becoming the first woman in Australia to sell cars! My name is Lesley Dewar and I spent about ten years in the car industry in Western Australia – in a variety of jobs. There is still a bit of petrol in the blood and running around the Kwinana Motorplex at 200kmh in the GTi Evo was great fun. One of my sons is an XU-1 expert these days, too and loves his cars!
Keeping the conversation going with your kids …
Whether you are away and calling home, or catching up at the end of a busy working day, kids are not the easiest of people with whom to communicate.
The usual questions:
- how’s school?
- what did you do today?
- how’s your Mum and/or Dad?
- what are you watching on TV?
don’t always generate scintillating conversation between a child and a parent at home. It is even harder for an absent parent to get a good talk going that gets more than the usual “OK” or “alright” or even “dunno!” as responses.
On the other hand, when you have a new story especially written to engage the imagination of the child and you can share it together, it becomes much easier to talk and explore new ideas.
The topics of Stories My Nana Tells, the pictures and the questions open up all kinds of interesting discussions, which can be revisited over and over again. Links to good websites can be shared and enjoyed – at home and away.
Stories My Nana Tells understands families, especially those who find themselves separated.
Online posts from women whose partners work away – maybe on a three week on – three week off cycle – shows the impact the FIFO lifestyle has on them and their children. But it is not only those in the FIFO industries that have to cope with these family pressures. There are many families where shift work, business pressures, being in the Defence Forces or being a single parent makes it difficult to connect with your kids in a personal way.
How Do We Help Families?
Stories My Nana Tells is a family membership site that delivers proven, quality stories every two weeks, to engage 7 to 12yo children in a journey of discovery, fast learning and exploring new things
This is perfect for parents – you can login at the same time as your child and read the new story together over Skype! You can chat on Facebook or swap emails, discussing and answering the questions with each story – there are so many ways to share the stories. It is also great for parents who are home-schooling. Our interview with Ben on our home page is a great example of how successfully you can use Skype and emails with Stories My Nana Tells.
Here’s a look at some of the story topics coming up in the next few weeks:
- He Looks Like Elvis
- He looks just like Elvis. His broad shoulders and slender hips give him balance and style; his garb was all black with an occasional flash of brilliant red, lining his coattails.
- Starlight… Star Bright …. First Star I See Tonight
- Sharing the stars with children is a great joy. To lie flat on your back, fingertips touching and to gaze intently into the heavens is an exhilarating experience to share with them.
- Hooked
- De Mestral hoped that Velcro® would replace the Zipper, which got its name eighty years after its invention. In 1923, F. B. Goodrich ordered 150,000 for his new product – rubber galoshes – and based on the sound it made -
- An Expensive Lunch
- He just throws back his giant head, opens his beak and swallows the little mouse whole. “I wonder if he has got a mouse wheel in his tummy,” I say to Robbie. “There’s going to be lots of running around in there.”
- Where Have All My Spiders Gone?
- The pea gravel is wrapped in silk and anchors something. But, what? I stare upwards. Between two red gums, their leaves and flowers tossing like waves at sea, my spider has cast her net.
