This Month: November 2011
The end of October and beginning of November is traditionally known as Mischief Week. Has the number of eggs suddenly decreased in your fridge? It could be they are already smashing nicely through the neighbour’s letter box. It’s one tradition to the next this time of year, but though many parents are groaning about Christmas, it does have one upside – Be good or Father Christmas won’t bring you any presents. Likely to work four times out of five.

Two in five children start school with undiagnosed sight issues? Vision Express Spokesperson, Sally Polak says: “Parents are not only risking their child’s health in later life by failing to have their eyes tested from a young age, but also how effectively they are learning in the classroom on a daily basis. We need to get eye health higher up on parents’ agenda.”
Do you baby safe your house?
“Yes. Why on earth wouldn’t a parent do this? Houses can be so dangerous. I have a baby gate and yet Sophie still managed to tumble down a couple of stairs.”

“Yes. Aiden is my third child and I take just as much care as I did with my first. He is always walking into corners so I try to cushion them.”
Sue Phillips
Kingsdown
“No. I think it is important for children to learn their own safety boundaries and so far my two-year-old has been fine.”
