Attend the first Mindful Mornings event on January 22, organised by Dubai-based holistic-lifestyle centre A Journey to Wellness. Aimed at women across the UAE, the themed mornings will enable participants to benefit from the expertise of wellness professionals once a month.
The first session, called Mini Munchies, will focus on ways to handle fussy eaters, how to pack perfect lunches and how to make meal times more fun. The event will be conducted by certified life coach Jane Gammage, who is the founder of A Journey to Wellness consultancy. The guest speaker is Sara Ghosn, the founder of Dubai’s Yum in a Box, which aims to instil healthy eating habits among children by creating well-balanced meals that look and taste good.
The event will be held at Reform Social & Grill in Dubai. Registration is through the company's Facebook page and costs Dh100. This is inclusive of a nutritious breakfast from Reform's head chef, who will whip up his signature Pots of Goodness as well as tea and coffee.
A Journey to Wellness offers life coaching, natural healing and nutritional advice for people across the UAE. For more information, email journeytowellnessdubai@gmail.com or call 055 551 1274.

Teaching your child to save
Pre-school (three - five years)
You can’t yet talk about investing or borrowing, but introduce a “classic” money bank and start putting gifts and allowances away. When the child wants a specific toy, have them save for it and help them track their progress.
Early childhood (six - eight years)
Replace the money bank with three jars labelled ‘saving’, ‘spending’ and ‘sharing’. Have the child divide their allowance into the three jars each week and explain their choices in splitting their pocket money. A guide could be 25 per cent saving, 50 per cent spending, 25 per cent for charity and gift-giving.
Middle childhood (nine - 11 years)
Open a bank savings account and help your child establish a budget and set a savings goal. Introduce the notion of ‘paying yourself first’ by putting away savings as soon as your allowance is paid.
Young teens (12 - 14 years)
Change your child’s allowance from weekly to monthly and help them pinpoint long-range goals such as a trip, so they can start longer-term saving and find new ways to increase their saving.
Teenage (15 - 18 years)
Discuss mutual expectations about university costs and identify what they can help fund and set goals. Don’t pay for everything, so they can experience the pride of contributing.
Young adulthood (19 - 22 years)
Discuss post-graduation plans and future life goals, quantify expenses such as first apartment, work wardrobe, holidays and help them continue to save towards these goals.
