Monica

One of Australia’s favourite entertainers, Monica Trapaga, is well known for her work on everything from Play School and Playhouse Disney to Better Homes and Gardens as well as a range of other television presenting roles and guest appearances.

She also has a fantastic singing voice. As well as being the very recognisable voice of the Bananas in Pyjamas theme song, Monica is a true professional when it comes to performing jazz and jazz swing. She has featured at every major jazz festival in Australia.

This week, Monica’s launching the new look Child Safety Handbook. The handbook promotes safety by teaching protective behaviours and providing safety tips that guard against accidents and foster safe playing.

I spoke to Monica about the book and the new fully safe website during my morning programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM.

We had a great discussion about the balance between being overprotective with our kids and helping them to become independent.

It was a lot of fun catching up with Monica and you can listen to our conversation using the media player below.
