Hi,
Does anyone know of any art classes for children around 8-9 years of age? My daughter is really keen and we'd like to encourage her beyond YouTube cartoon tutorials.
Thanks
Helen
Hi, Has anyone opened a current account for their tween/teen that they would recommend? My daughter is of an age now where she wants to save up her pocket/birthday money and then be able to use it via a debit card when out and about. The days of collecting Natwest pig moneyboxes or Midland griffin ...
I'm staggered that this is a genuine question. Not wishing to sound like I'm about 90 but what is the world coming to? How is it even a question that dogs (of any size) should be kept entirely and deliberately under control in public places? It used to be that only service dogs were seen in cafes...
Yes, it's been a problem for ages and is not getting any better. Same in Balham: dog mess all over the pavements (including right outside schools, just waiting for kids to step in it), and boisterous dogs all over the Common. I like dogs but when we all live so close together they need to be pro...
Thanks, Annabel, that's a really helpful link. It surely goes without saying that children elsewhere in the world have much worse to deal with, but it doesn't stop our own children needing help sometimes too.
Windmill26 I'm sorry to see this thread seems to have been hijacked by people with issues of their own, seemingly looking for a fight. It's not clear to me why we're not all on the side of trying to live in a pleasant society, whether that is by encouraging teenage oiks not to be revolting or by ext...
Please read 'I love you but I'm not in love with you' by Andrew G. Marshall. It's very helpful and insightful and can help make a dramatic difference in a marriage in only a few days and when you thought all was lost. Give it a try - much cheaper than marriage counselling although you can still go d...
Going to visit a friend undergoing chemo; any tips for presents that are welcome in people's prior experience? Got some books and funny dvds to lend but don't want to take chocs/cakes etc if appetites are affected etc. Any top tips gratefully received, thanks.
I'm with you, Petal. My three year old is at a local nursery (not mentioning any names as I know they are far from along in this - most places seem to be the same) and I fail to understand why the children are given pudding after lunch and tea. I hoped that might stop at school, but it sounds like m...
Kids Company are always in need of things like this, especially at this time of year when they host a Christmas Day event for 4,000 children who are in need, and their families: http://www.kidsco.org.uk/
I have no personal experience of either but have had friends use both. C&W got good reviews, Kingston was an experience so horrific for my best mate that they moved house rather than have to go there again next time.
All great tips so far. We went to France with a 5 month old and Australia 4 months later. Five months old was easier as she hadn't learnt to crawl then so was just happy to sit and cuddle/feed. Definitely agree on the spare clothes for you (at the very least a clean top, just in case) and really, re...
