My son has recently been diagnosed with dysgraphia. This is to writing what dyslexia is to reading. There has not been a lot of research done into it therefore it is less well-known - even by 'experts'- than other specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia.Toddlers, Kids+, Primary school, Development
My husband and I are in the process of buying a new house. Along with starting to plan where our furniture will go and what new things we may need, I've also started looking into the local nurseries and schools. Though my son is only a year old, I've decided to start stressing about it now. Yay me.Babies, Toddlers, Baby & toddler buys
Now that my second child has passed his first birthday, I thought it was a good time to look back and see which bits of baby gear I've bought over the years that were a colossal wastes of money. Most of these 'mistakes', admittedly were with my first son, but thinking about it there have been a few bits and bobs my second son has hardly used before they were discarded.Babies, Toddlers, Development, Eating & nutrition
My son recently had his one year health check - along with me answering a lot of questions about his general development - "is he sitting/standing/walking/talking?"- his weight and length were recorded.
The other day on Twitter a link made the rounds. It was incredibly moving and is a required read. That was a hint. You have to go read it now. I'll wait.
I've had some products from the Organic Babies range from Green People that I've been trying out for a couple weeks.
I think talking about politics with your children is one of the most important duties of parenthood. Not only does it help them learn how to think and debate, but it teaches them to be an active citizen and to know that their voice can and should be heard.
My son turned 11-months-old yesterday. My first thought was, "Should I have a birthday party for him?" My second thought was, "No, please, please, please, I've got to go through all that 'birthday party hell' again?! Aaaaarrrrggghhh!"Babies, Toddlers, Baby & toddler buys
I needed a second highchair for when we stay at my husband's place (we work in different cities, so have separate homes). Ideally, I wanted something that would last a long time – a highchair that converts into a low chair would be perfect.
OK, I have to admit it. My husband, Professor Brian Cox, has become a bit well-known these past couple months. I don't remember the exact moment when I realised he was famous. It may have been the gushing article in the Daily Mail or when we were out for a walk and a paparazzi jumped out and snapped us (I'm not exactly sure where it ended up, but we were told it was Heat Magazine). I don't have a lot of experience being the wife of a famous man, but I'm a fast learner and am getting a pretty good idea of what it involves.
