Whilst your school-aged children are back into their new term routines, it’s time to focus on your toddlers & pre-schoolers. If you don’t want to do a big family day out and are looking to save some pennies this time of year, play centres are the best place to start. I have spent many happy […]
As a parent of a child with additional needs you are probably very aware, and focused, on developing their social & verbal skills but one very important aspect to balance is your child’s physical activity too.

Today is a guest post from Anne Josephson that I came across in The Huffington Post. To compete or not to compete? That really is a question when it comes to youth sports. Why should kids compete? Is competition good for them? Is it necessary to get them prepared for their grown-up lives? I don’t think […]
I am talking on BBC Radio Scotland this week about ‘The Pros and Cons of Siblings Sharing. There are many differing opinions about whether or not it’s a good idea for siblings to share a bedroom. As a former Deputy Head Teacher, I often saw yawning kids in my class tired out due to disturbed […]
I’m speaking with Kelvin MacKenzie on Love Sport Radio about this topic in The Telegraph ‘After #MeToo, how are we now to raise our boys?’ I don’t really think that raising a thoughtful, well-rounded son is any different from raising a thoughtful, well rounded daughter ?

I was joining in a discussion on BBC Radio today about this hugely worrying study that has revealed that Britain’s child obesity problems are out of control.

I’m being interviewed on talkRADIO tonight about midwife Clemmie Hooper, 33, who is accused of using her children online to make money.

I watched this eye-opening documentary on TV where Doctor Chris Van Tulleken discovers the truth behind the drugs we are giving our children. Parents the world over have been known to give their children Calpol when they’re feeling under the weather. Whether it’s a high temperature, a tummy ache or teething, there’s a particular brand […]
“It’s not a drug, but it may as well be”: Expert opinions on whether kids are addicted to tech. Most people associate the word “addiction” with problems like gambling, alcoholism or drug abuse.

I am on BBC Radio Tees today discussing this news story – which will be interesting! When it comes to children and screen time, parents have conflicting views.

You’ve read all the parenting books. You regularly attended parenting classes. You are an active member on your child’s PTA.

Have you heard of ‘Upskirting?’ Well, neither had I until I read about it in the Huffington Post.
