THE INNER CHILD’S GUIDE TO THE INNER CHILD.

Ten things you can do to make your Inner Child feel accepted:-

1. Play hopscotch at every given opportunity.
2. Demand that your veggies are puréed at restaurants.
3. Flick custard at the neighbours (cold, lumpy custard works best)
4. Throw a huge tantrum at least once a month.
5. Make some mud pies.
6. be rebellious – don’t wash behind your ears for 7 days.
7. Cuddle your favourite snuggly and suck your thumb.
8. Paint with your fingers.
9. Tell your Mom you love her.
10. Tell your Mom you hate her.

If you embrace your Inner Child you will have a more rewarding life and will remember how much fun it can be to mix your ice cream with lemon curd and put ribbons in your dog’s fur.

Embrace your Inner Child as Sophie clearly has!

Listen to the advice of your Inner Child, they have been there, done that and know every trick in the book. They can really help you out of a sticky situation if you ask them for their advice. But remember to be nice to them and they’ll be glad to help. They might actually ask you to play a quick game of patty cake before they help you but they will help you!

HE INNER CHILD’S GUIDE TO THE INNER CHILD.

I am the Inner Child. You all have one, you just choose to ignore yours most of the time.Well here I am to stand up for the rights of the Inner Child! Read on.

So one minute you’re a baby, dribbling and pooping your pants. And the next you can walk, you can talk and you’re yelling at your Mom.

Did you ever stop to think what happened to that cute little bundle of babey wabeyness that used to be you? Why you went on to throw aside your chewy toys and your postperson pamela books? And why you sometimes, just sometimes can hear that little voice in your head telling you to throw custard at the neighbours or jump on the bed and pretend to be the Silver Lining?

Well let me tell you this. In your rush to get older and be independent you left your Inner Child behind. Yeah, I know it’s harsh. Believe me, I know. To be trapped inside yourself and to be ignored. It’s just not rude!

Okay, so here’s the deal, what do you think you’d be without your Inner Child? Well I’ll tell you. You’d be an old fuddy duddy fogey with your knitting needles and your blankie over your knees. You’d be hobbling down to the Bingo Hall every afternoon (after your nap) to catch up with all your other fogey friends.

Violet’s Inner Child is intact, why else would she dress like this?!

Your Inner Child is the one that reminds you to have fun! Reminds you to let your hair down every now and again. And reminds you to enjoy life to the max.

So here’s to all those Inner Children out there, ignored and unloved.I say listen to your Inner Child! Embrace your Inner Child! Have an ice cream for your Inner Child!

We will we will not be moved, we will we will not be moved…

THE ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO WHACKY PARENTS 2

THE ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO WHACKY PARENTS

The Vermonts

Woah! Octavia sure has some spaced out parents. Mrs Vermont is like a robot, “yes dear”, “no dear” and not much in between dear…..

Apart from trying to sell everyone some country goodness and telling people they “can’t handle the truth!” there’s not much more to be said.

Commander Vermont on the other hand is OTT (over the top). His army of men running around the garden is music to his ears and catching aliens is the best thing since sliced bread.

The Montana’s

Josh Montana is from a very wealthy family. The Montana’s have been in Sunset Cove for generations. Josh’s parents are often overseas on big business trips (or so they say). But no one knows what they do. They fly here, there and everywhere and make millions of dollars doing it. All with the utmost secrecy. Rumours went around the Cove that the Montana’s sold rare tiger fingernails, but nothing has ever been proved.

Josh loves what money can buy him. The other day he offered a girl the real “Balls of Nantucket”.

The Marigolds

Jet’s parents were hippys from out west. They used to travel the country in their van, stopping for protests and gatherings along the way. Jet was a bouncy baby girl in their first years on the road.

To make money for gas they would creep into farmer’s paddocks for cow pats and make cleansing lotions out of them.

They stopped in Sunset Cove one day and Jet didn’t want to leave. It was the weirdest place she’d ever seen and everything she wanted.

Her parents still drop in now and again to Sunset Cove to sell their famous cleansing lotions.

What would you do if you found out your parents weren’t who they said, or who you assumed they were?? Could you ever recover from the knowledge that you had been misinformed all this time? Do you think it would affect the future for you?

Well there’s a secret in store for you… keep watching Atlantis High to find the most bizarre, wild and whacky secrets of all as the story of Atlantis High in Sunset Cove unfolds!

THE ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO WHACKY PARENTS

No one in Sunset Cove is what you’d call normal, and perhaps their parents are to blame. In this guide we delve into the lives of our favourite Sunset Covers to find out where they came from and from whom….

Parents! They’re all wacky!

How many of you think your parents are whacky sometimes? There are always things that parents do or say that kids will think….like duh…that’s so strange!!

Well strange is what we see a lot of in Sunset Cove. Giles still could not understand why his mother even uprooted them to Sunset Cove in the first place. He noticed right from the beginning that there was something odd about her and the way she acted around certain people….as if she really knew them??

Could it be some old dark secret? Stashed away and never to rear it’s ugly head? Everybody’s family seems to have a ‘skeleton in the closet’… secrets from long ago that you think are forgotten, but someone always brings them up eventually!

And why does Grampa keep calling her Dennis?

Do you think you know your parents?

Sabrina’s Parents

Sabrina’s mother married money. Her husband worked for large oil company and earnt millions of dollars a year. Sabrina’s mother and Sabrina herself got used to the big spending. They could have anything they wanted! The best clothes, the best perfumes, the best jewellery and the best holidays.

But these girls just spent too much. Sabrina’s father couldn’t keep up with their spending and very soon wasn’t earning enough money to support their expensive habits.

Sabrina’s father quit his job and he and his wife went to live in Tibet. Sabrina now lives off her credit cards.

SOPHIE’S POLTERGEIST’S GUIDE TO GHOSTS. 2

SOPHIE’S POLTERGEIST’S GUIDE TO GHOSTS.

People often wonder what it is that makes a ghostie want to haunt someone. Why the ghostie doesn’t just go and relax in Heaven and be nice and calm and happy?

Well, that’s no fun! Face it, if you were a rebellious person when you were alive and liked to party hard then why should you just chill out when you die? It’s much better to cause a bit of havoc and throw a few plant pots around.

Five not so well known Sunset Cove Ghosties

1. The Phantom of the Diner
2. High School Hagar the Horrid
3. Hells Hellish Bogus Biker
4. Mysterious Michael Mavaric
5. The See Through Sea Spectre.

Five noises that are often mistaken for ghosties

1. The cat jumping off the couch.
2. The front door rattling in the wind.
3. Dads snoring.
4. The monster in the cupboard.
5. The invisible pixie that Irish dances at the bottom of your bed at 3.15am

Haunting is a real art form and not everyone can do it, no matter how much they want to. There are some depressed ghosts around here, let me tell you and I am a bit of an agony aunt for them.

I have taken a few ghosties under my wing and hopefully they’ll be able to give haunting their best shot soon. So if you get really scared by a ghostie in the next wee while you know they were taught by yours truly.

There are some other things that can go bump in the night and these have nothing to do with ghosties. Just take some time to think to yourself, “Is that noise a ghost or is it something else?”

Next, check around the house. Look out your windows. If it is not your cat or something that can be easily explained; if you feel icy cold and have a tingle down your spine; if you can see something hazy and are hit on the head by a flying plant pot; chances are it is a ghostie.

I think that you should try to make friends with your ghost eventually but for the first few years, enjoy being scared, it’s actually a great feeling and it gives you a story or two to tell your mates about. And it’s a real ego boost to your ghostly companion, they’ll get such a kick out of scaring you.

So it’s goodbye from me … for now … oh, and to the non-believers out there … click here
