Plastic is found EVERYWHERE these days. Our use of plastic is huge and it eventually gets thrown into the ocean which is not good for our planet now, or in the future for our children, or for our children’s children. Of course plastic is a fantastic material it’s just that we need to think about how […]

Fox is the first school to pledge to go plastic free & they have signed up to be Plastic Pioneers.

I’m discussing the new report out today by Public Health England. Half of the sugar young children in England consume comes from unhealthy snacks and sweet drinks, figures show.

I’m speaking on BBC Radio WM in the Midlands today about The Church of England sending out guidance to its 4,700 schools saying that at its schools, boys should be allowed to wear tiaras and tutus, in a policy it hopes will aim to curb transphobic bullying.

As parents we don’t usually start out wanting to make mistakes. Too often though, we think that parenting should come ‘naturally’ & only rely on our ‘parenting instincts’ or fall back on the way our parents did, or didn’t do it, & we don’t try to get help with common parenting issues and problems.
