GCSEs are well under way now, after a half term break young people across the UK are hopefully feeling refreshed and ready for ’round two’. My daughter has seven exams left to do now, meaning she’s over half way through. She’s pleased that the remaining exams are all a bit more spaced out, in that she doesn’t have any other days with two exams in one day.
Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemic is still with us. But, as the days and nights get warmer and longer, our chances to spend time outside increase. This makes the garden the perfect place for children to play, and for family and friends to gather.
As parents, all we really want are happy, healthy children. I know that personally I have spent a lot of time in internal knots as I tried to navigate my way through particular health issues with my children over the years.
Do your children love to read stories or be read stories by you or other family members? Do they enjoy being transported into magical and exciting worlds? Do they enjoy reading books that make the feel as if they are right there as part of the story? If the answers to these questions are yes, why not think about introducing them to the Prince Zaaki series.
A preterm baby is one delivered before the due nine-month period elapses. Since such babies haven’t completed their developmental process, they’re often prone to health issues. Whilst babies born early can face many challenges, with the right measures and care, your preterm baby can thrive.
Choosing a school for your children can feel like a huge responsibility, especially if you are moving areas and don’t have much local knowledge. Processes can differ from area to area; catchment areas may or may not be a thing, depending where you are moving to; and some schools just might not be right for some children. It really is a lot to think about.
Adolescence is a stage in a person’s life that occurs between the ages of 11 and 17, as young people move towards the transition into adulthood. During this time ‘stressful’ situations increase as pressure mounts at school in the form of more tests and exams.
Sports in school curriculum is a rather contentious issue. Many people think that it only steals the valuable time that could be devoted to more important subjects. Others argue that only children with special talent and love for sports should indulge in the corresponding activities while others do not need it. However, regular physical activity has long been proven to offer loads of benefits both physical as well as mental. And for school children, it is especially important.
