 These days we take in more information in one broadsheet newspaper than the average medieval peasant was exposed to in a lifetime.

Here are some tips on how to deal with electronic and time clutter.

Summer’s here at last! And with it the impending 6 week summer holidays
which can be an exhausting time for parents but great fun for the
children. However, keeping the children entertained during those long
days can be a challenge, especially once you’ve exhausted the usual

some of their energy into a treasure hunt?

 When I think of summers as a child, I remember long days playing out on my bike, making mud pies, walking to the corner shop to get a tin of chicken soup (my favourite lunch!) cut knees, making up ghost stories about the ‘haunted’ house at the end of the road, making new friends and being called in for tea, exhausted and hungry.

 Hot weather and holidays are exciting but bring potential hazards for kids... water and sun!
We all worry about our children around pools and in the sea so as parents we should encourage them to learn to swim and develop water safety skill as early as possible in their life – it is an essential life skill. But what if your child is afraid of the water & can’t swim? Don’t panic! You could check out swimming lessons at your local leisure centre. Often the best value.

 Choosing the right location and mix of activities for your family is key to ensuring that everyone has a good time.
It is also important that your chosen accommodation suits your family, and this is particularly true when it comes to somewhere with a swimming pool.
There were 42 children who drowned aged under 10-years-old from 2000-2009.
Helping parents and guardians understand how these tragedies happened, and offering some simple advice to consider before and during a holiday will hopefully go some way towards saving young lives in the future.
