Die Lowes van Middelburg trek dikwels aandag wanneer hulle as gesin op uitstappies gaan. Hoewel ma Rika van gemiddelde lengte is, is haar man, Stephen, en hul drie kinders almal kort. Dit was nie altyd maklik vir Abigail (15), Khloe (14) en Izak (12) om met dwergisme groot te word nie, maar hul ouers het hulle geleer om hulle nie aan opmerkings of boelies te steur nie. Daniëlla gesels met Rika oor hoe sy en Stephen veerkragtige kinders grootmaak, watter uitdagings hulle as gesin ervaar, en wat hulle wens die publiek van kort mense weet. The Lowe family from Middelburg often attracts attention when they go out together. While mom Rika is of average height, her husband, Stephen, and their three children are all so-called "little people". It hasn't always been easy for Abigail (15), Khloe (14) and Izak (12) to grow up with dwarfism, but their parents have taught them not to let comments or bullying define them. Daniëlla speaks to Rika about how she and Stephen are raising resilient children, the challenges they face as a family, and what they wish the public understood about people with dwarfism. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

“Los jou tiener bietjie uit!” Omstrede woorde, maar dis presies wat Stefanie Minnar van “Ouer Tiener Harmonie” in hierdie episode vir ouers sê.

Stefanie shares practical advice on things parents should stop doing for their teens today, and explains why she believes matric students should be allowed to experience places like Plett Rage. An conversation about boundaries, trust, letting go, and why “helicopter parenting” can sometimes do more harm than good. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

In 2019 het Junandi Meyer ’n brief aan die tydskrif Baba & Kleuter geskryf. Sy was net 15 jaar oud… en swanger. “Ek is dalk jonger as die ander ma’s,” het sy geskryf, “maar my opgewondenheid is net so groot soos hulle s’n. Ek verdien ook om ’n ma te wees, ten spyte van my fout.” Sewe jaar later het Daniëlla vir Junandi opgespoor om uit te vind wat ná daardie lewensveranderende oomblik gebeur het. Hierdie is haar storie. In 2019, Junandi Meyer wrote a letter to Baba & Kleuter magazine.

Die hart van ’n plaasvrou en -ma/ The heart of a farm woman and mom 01.04.2026 35min

Om ’n plaasvrou te wees, verg krag. Om boonop ’n ma én plaasvrou te wees, verg 'n SUPERKRAG! Gelukkig is Suid-Afrika vol van sulke vroue: ma’s wat elke dag saam met hul mans boer, kinders grootmaak en help om ’n plaas aan die gang te hou. In dié episode gesels Daniëlla met Deidré Viljoen van Plaas & Vrou oor die unieke uitdagings van boerdery en die moeilike besluite wat ma’s op plase soms moet neem.

Wat elke ouer van AI en Chatbots moet weet/ What every parent should know about AI and chatbots 18.03.2026 34min

Kinders en tieners spandeer al hoe meer tyd met AI (Kunsmatige Intelligensie) apps wat met hulle terugpraat – van "huiswerk helpers" TOT chatbots wat soos “vriende” kan voel. Hierdie skuif van sosiale media na persoonlike interaksie met 'n AI bied geleenthede, maar ook nuwe risiko’s: kinders kan maklik persoonlike inligting deel, grense kan vervaag en AI kan selfs onvanpaste of skadelike advies gee. In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met digitale ouerskap- en kuberveiligheidskenner Rianette Leibowitz van Cyber Wellness with Rianette oor hoe hierdie tegnologie werk en wat ouers móét weet. Ons praat oor hoe om kinders te help om hierdie nuwe digitale wêreld te navigeer – want as jy nie verstaan wat aanlyn gebeur nie, kan jy hulle nie beskerm nie. Children and teens are spending more and more time on AI (Artificial Intelligence) apps that talk back to them – from “homework helpers” to chatbots that can feel like “friends.” This shift from simply using social media to having personal interactions with AI brings opportunities, but also risks: kids can easily share personal information, boundaries can blur, and AI can even give inappropriate or harmful advice. In this episode, Daniëlla speaks to digital parenting and cybersecurity expert Rianette Leibowitz from Cyber Wellness with Rianette about how this technology works and what parents need to know. We discuss how to help children navigate this new digital world – because if you don’t understand what’s happening online, you can’t protect them. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Gemolesteer as kind - nou help ek ander ouers die tekens raaksien - Annemarie Gillmer 04.03.2026 40min

Annemarie Gillmer was maar 11 jaar oud toe 'n man, wat sy en haar ouers geken en vertrou het, haar vir jare begin "groom" (seksueel voorberei) het. Hy was 30 jaar ouer as sy. Sy het hom oom genoem. Dit het dekades geneem om die trauma te verwerk, maar Annemarie (wat intussen self 'n ma geword het) deel nou haar storie om ander ouers te bemagtig en in te lig. Dié episode is 'n moet-luister vir elke ouer, maar ook vir elke volwassene wat as kind self die slagoffer van 'n molesteerder of pedofiel was. Annemarie Gillmer was only 11 years old when a man, whom she and her parents knew and trusted, began to "groom" her for years. He was 30 years older than her. She called him "oom". It took decades to process the trauma, but Annemarie (who has since become a mother herself) is now sharing her story to empower and inform other parents. This episode is a must-listen for every parent, but also for every adult who was the victim of a molester or pedophile as a child. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Ouerskap en prestasie: Die fyn lyn tussen motivering en druk / Parenting and Performance: The Fine Line Between Motivation and Pressure 18.02.2026 34min

Alle ouers wil die beste vir hul kinders hê... maar soms plaas ons, sonder dat ons dit besef, druk op hulle wat meer skade as goed doen. Wanneer sport, kultuur en akademie oorweldigend begin voel, hoe help ons kinders om hul potensiaal te bereik sonder om hul vreugde en selfvertroue te verloor? In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met opvoedkundige sielkundige Hennie Vorster oor hoe ouers balans kan vind tussen motivering en druk. Ons praat oor hoe om kinders emosioneel te ondersteun, hoe om hul eie angs en selfdruk te help bestuur, en hoe mededinging in vandag se samelewing kinders se welstand beïnvloed. All parents want the best for their children… but sometimes, without realizing it, we place pressure on them that does more harm than good. When sport, cultural activities, and academics start to feel overwhelming, how do we help our children reach their potential without losing their joy and self-confidence? In this episode, Daniëlla talks with educational psychologist Hennie Vorster about how parents can find the balance between motivation and pressure. We discuss how to support children emotionally, how to help them manage their own anxiety and self-imposed pressure, and how competition in today’s society affects children’s well-being. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Aktrise Donnalee Roberts is ook as skrywer en vervaardiger betrokke by die treffer-familiereeks Een Keer Om die Son, waarvan die tweede reeks tans op kykNET te sien is. Maar terwyl sy op die skerm ’n geskeide vrou vertolk wat nié kinders wil hê nie, lyk die realiteit by haar eie huis heel anders: Sy's getroud met Ivan Botha (ook in die vermaakbedryf), ma van twee besige voorskoolse seuntjies, én bonusma van ’n tienerdogter. Haar huis is vol, dit is besig – en dit is alles waarvan sy nog ooit gedroom het. Donnalee en Daniëlla gesels oor die balanseertoertjies wat werkende ma’s daagliks aanpak, die dinamika van verskillende geslagte onder een dak, en sy deel ook wat sy by haar eie ma geleer het. Actress Donnalee Roberts is also involved as a writer and producer on the hit family series Een Keer Om die Son, with the second season currently airing on kykNET. But while she portrays a divorced woman who does not want children on screen , the reality at home looks very different: She is married to Ivan (also in the entertainment industry), mom to two busy preschool boys, and bonus mom to a teenage daughter. Her home is full, it’s busy – and it’s everything she has ever dreamed of. Donnalee and Daniëlla chat about the balancing acts working moms perform every day, the dynamics of different generations living under one roof, and she also shares what she learned from her own mother. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

Wat ’n Tuisskool-Ma Wil Hê Jy Moet Weet (met Janet Kieswetter)/ What a Homeschool Mom Wants You to Know (with Janet Kieswetter) 26.11.2025 34min

Hoe gemaak as 'n hoofstroomskool nie vir jou kind werk nie? Of as jy bloot jou kinders tuis by jou wil hê? Janet Kieswetter het die tuisskoolpad saam met haar vyf dogters gestap, en help nou ook ander ouers wat dit wil doen deur haar platform "Kieswetter Klaskamer". Tuisskool is nie vir almal nie, en dit hoef ook nie te wees nie. Maar elke ouer wat al kopgekrap het wanneer hulle moet help met huiswerk, of 'n kind het wat "anders" werk as sy of haar klasmaats, kan leer by dié ma en haar gesin. What do you do when mainstream schooling just doesn’t work for your child - or when you simply want your kids at home with you? Janet Kieswetter has walked the homeschooling journey with her five daughters and now helps other parents who want to do the same through her platform, Kieswetter Klaskamer. Homeschooling isn’t for everyone - and it doesn’t have to be.

Dit het heel onskuldig begin toe Carli van Aswegen (15) “fitfluencers” en “foodies” op sosiale media begin volg het. Maar kort voor lank was Carli obsessief oor kos, haar gewig en wat sy eet. Sy het, byna ongemerk, ’n eetsteurnis ontwikkel – een wat glad nie lyk soos die “tipiese” anoreksie of bulimie nie. In hierdie episode gesels Daniëlla met Carli, haar ma Nantie, asook dokter Reza Gouws, oor iets waarmee baie jongmense in stilte sukkel: eetsteurnisse, liggaamsbeeld en “food noise”. It all started quite innocently when Carli van Aswegen (15) began following “fitfluencers” and “foodies” on social media. But before long, Carli became obsessed with food, her weight, and what she was eating. Almost without noticing, she developed an eating disorder – one that looks nothing like the “typical” anorexia or bulimia. In this episode, Daniëlla speaks with Carli, her mom Nantie, and Dr. Reza Gouws about something many young people silently struggle with: eating disorders, body image, and “food noise.” - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z

As Oupa of Ouma Sterf/ When Grandpa or Grandma Dies 29.10.2025 32min

In baie gesinne is oupas en oumas ankers. Maar wat maak ons wanneer daardie anker wegval? Hoe verduidelik ’n mens aan jou kind dat iemand wat hulle liefhet nie meer hier is nie? En hóé ondersteun jy jou kind terwyl jy self rou? In hierdie gesprek gesels Daniëlla met kliniese sielkundige Maryna Ferreira oor verlies: spesifiek wanneer ’n oupa of ouma sterf. Ons praat oor rou, kinders se verskillende maniere om dit te verwerk, hoe om eerlik en met deernis te kommunikeer, en hoe om hul herinneringe te koester sonder om oorweldig te voel. In many families, grandparents are anchors. But what do we do when that anchor is gone? How do you explain to your child that someone they love is no longer here? And how do you support your child while you are grieving yourself? In this conversation, Daniëlla speaks with clinical psychologist Maryna Ferreira about loss: specifically when a grandparent passes away. We discuss grief, the different ways children process it, how to communicate honestly and with compassion, and how to honor their memories without feeling overwhelmed. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z -- One attachment • Scanned by Gmail

Vroedmeester Sydney Grové: Wat Jy oor Geboorte Moet Weet!/ Midwife Sydney Grové: What You Need to Know About Birth! 22.10.2025 42min

Sydney Grové was Suid-Afrika se heel eerste vroedmeester – ja, ’n manlike vroedvrou! Hy het ook die land se eerste watergeboortes behartig en was betrokke by meer as 25 000 geboortes. In dié besondere episode deel Sydney sy dekades se kennis met Daniëlla en ons luisteraars. Hy vertel hoe hy as kind reeds geweet het dis sy roeping om by geboorteversorging betrokke te wees – en hoe hy deur die jare gesien het hoe geboortepraktyke, emosionele ondersteuning en die rol van vroedvroue verander het. Maar Sydney is ook bekommerd oor waar Suid-Afrika nou staan. Hy glo dat ons besig is om die hart van geboorte te verloor: dat ma's nie altyd die sorg, ondersteuning en menslikheid ontvang wat hulle verdien nie. Sydney se webblad: www.grovemediconsulting.com Sydney Grové was South Africa’s very first male midwife – yes, a man in midwifery! He also assisted with the country’s first water births and has been involved in more than 25000 deliveries. In this special episode, Sydney shares his decades of experience with Daniëlla and our listeners. He talks about how he knew from a young age that this was his calling, and how he’s seen childbirth practices, emotional support, and the role of midwives evolve over the years. But Sydney is also concerned about where South Africa stands today. He believes we’re losing the heart of childbirth – that mothers aren’t always receiving the care, compassion, and support they truly deserve. - Intro Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/burst-of-light License code: I430IW70W4DQLJ9Z
