Gifted¦ I have recently been sent two lovely books to read with Autumn that I’d like to share with you all. These are Where The Heart Is by Irma Gold and Susannah Crispe and Growing Pains by Alison McLennan and Melissa Johns. Everyone knows how important is is for children to have a good understanding of English, maths and science by the time they leave school. However, I think one of the most important things you can teach your child is to be kind. Both these books are aimed at 4-8 year olds and beautifully support that notion.

Introducing Your Children To Music
Collaborative Post¦ There are a lot of small pleasures in life, but introducing your children to music for the very first time is one of them that you don’t want to miss out on. Music is a great way to not only connect with children, but to allow their imaginations to start turning over from a young age, no matter how old they are. Newborns benefit from soothing music and as they get older, they benefit from a range of music types that will enable them to dance, find their own rhythm and introduce them to a world of sound.
Children will learn to love music of all genres, and they will be able to immerse themselves in a specific music type as they get older. Some kids hit their teen years and bury themselves in rock music, wearing the clothes and makeup that reflect their favorite artists. Then there are others who love to emulate the rappers of the past with solid gold Cuban link chains and oversized basketball jerseys! The point is that music helps children to develop their own sense of taste and style, and introducing them to all ranges is so important. So, here are some of the best ways that you can introduce your kids to music while they’re still young.

Collaborative Post¦ Are you interested in helping your kids and ensuring that they stay healthy? If so, then there’s a lot to consider Every day it seems there’s a new story in the media about problems that are impacting the health of children. However, it could still be easier than you think to protect your child’s wellbeing. Here are some of the key options that you must keep in mind.
Ideas For Gifts When You Have Older Children
Collaborative Post¦ It can be so incredibly hard to buy gifts for boys and girls when they get older. There are plenty of options for girls I guess, but even so, you may be puzzled as to what to get. A boy can play with a girls toy and vice versa. But older children especially can be difficult. Firstly they don’t tend to give you any ideas or clues as to what they would like. Secondly, a lot of things tend to cost the earth. Thankfully as they get older, they will realise what things cost so you can pick and choose between some of the times.
Whether it is Christmas, a birthday or even to celebrate a specific occasion, you may be wondering what to get your tween or teen. Sometimes you want to think practically as well as giving them an option of some of the things they want. But, if they haven’t given you any ideas, then don’t despair. Here is a bit of inspiration to help you get the perfect gift.
A “Case” of Concerns: Making Moving Easier With Children
Collaborative Post¦ Making any move is about preparing yourself properly. And when it comes to making all that preparation work for you, it can easily be undone by the children. That’s not to say that they are doing it on purpose. But kids will be kids! When we are trying to prepare for something serious but our children want to play, it can be a battle to keep them occupied, while also making sure that we are still pushing in the right direction. When it comes to moving, it is not the easiest thing, even if you don’t have kids. So what does it take to make sure that you and the children are on the same page?
