Kid Thinkers - a new series of printables!


Get your kids thinking with our "Kid Thinkers" - our own range of printables which will encourage your children to scratch their heads and do a little critical thinking! They can be used in the classroom or home and adapted to suit the age of your child, although we are aiming them roughly at the 7-8 year old. There will be a new Kid Thinker most weeks - subscribe to our free newsletter to get news of the latest...



Each week we will introduce a new concept, quote, proverb, puzzle or riddle - just something to get your children thinking a little harder than usual! We may provide a poster or another printable, and we will always provide a fun worksheet or notebooking page so that your child can build up a useful collection. Kid Thinkers are also meant to provide you with a starting point for discussion - either at home or in the classroom. We will also provide activity and extension ideas based on the week's Kid Thinker.

Diary Of A New Mum - Week 19 - Dads Have Feelings Too



Dads Have Feelings Too

Paul had a bit of a crisis this week. It seems that fathers can also suffer from post-natal depression – this is more common than you might think.

I can’t say I hadn’t noticed that he hadn’t been himself lately. Before we had Jess I would have been on it like a shot, and we’d have talked, I guess, and maybe nipped any really negative feelings in the bud. But with my attention diverted to the helpless little mite who does nothing but feed and poo and sleep, Paul was left to sink or swim on his own. And, in this case, he sank.

Our doctor, thankfully, is very progressive and understanding. He didn’t actually go to the doctors because he was feeling low, he went for something else entirely. But she remembered me (a bad sign – did she think he had good reason to be depressed with a wife like me?), and asked how everything was. Cue good opportunity for Paul to open up and tell someone, at long last, how it has been for him.

Diary Of A New Mum - Week 19 - All Things Weaning!


All Things Weaning
This week we started the exciting process of weaning. I know ‘current guidelines’ say wait until six months, but a few years ago they said 4 months, and a few years before that 3 months. We, as Jess’s parents, made an informed decision to start at 18 weeks – and Jess’s reaction told us we had timed it just right. In fact, the look on her face when she tasted her baby rice said, ‘Why have you waited so long?!’

Teach your children the most important secret!

A friend of mine in Australia has brought out a brand new product on goal setting for kids. Winsome Coutts over at 4lifehappykids.com has brought together a team of mothers, grandmothers, schoolteachers, curriculum writers, and experts in self-help, visualization and goal setting to create a set of beautifully illustrated, downloadable books that will teach your child the secrets they need to know to fulfil their dreams and be happy and successful all their lives.



Winsome has created the books because she believes:

• Kids learn when they’re having fun. They hardly know they are learning when they are enjoying themselves.

• We can teach them when we have the tools and a plan.

• We can encourage our kids to create their own goals, and NOT impose our ideas on them.

• Happy children with high self-esteem and confidence look to the future with intention and clarity.

Winsome’s package includes two downloadable, colorful books (one for smaller children and one for older kids) as well as a downloadable, detailed parents’ guide. Your child can learn the techniques of self-actualization that have inspired the wisest and most successful people down through the centuries. Find out more about these unique e-books here.

Great activity printables from Bayard Magazines - and special promotion!


Some years ago when my children were younger we came across some really super kids' magazines and promptly subscribed both children: Josh to AdventureBox (for 6-9 year olds) and Tilly to StoryBox (for 3-6 year olds), We all loved the magazines and used to look forward to their arrival in the post each month. I am thrilled to say that during September we are able to offer you a collection of sample pages (below) - with some really fun puzzles and activities - for each of those two magazines, as well as a magazine for older children, DiscoveryBox, aimed at 9-12 year olds. We can also offer a 10% discount for anyone who subscribes - just enter aWrLuhptB6 to claim your discount! A subscription to one of the magazines would make a great Christmas or birthday present, too. The magazines are from
bayard-magazines.co.uk
