SEN parents

This is for all the parents for whom the start of the new school term hasn’t been smiley doorstep photos and excited children.
We are sending love to those children and parents of children who struggle to be in a school setting, who perhaps can’t be in school as much as their peers and for those who don’t attend school.
We know how incredibly tough the SEN parenting journey can be so if you have found the past few weeks tough we are sending you love.

Here’s how to recognise and treat conjunctivitis.

You don’t need to keep your baby or child or school or nursery if they have conjunctivitis but you’ll need to inform the staff.

We always recommend speaking to a pharmacist if you think your child has conjunctivitis.

Hands up if you’ve ever smelled your newborn baby’s head?!

Did you know that a baby’s head has a specific smell that actually has a positive effect on the brain's reward system. Research has shown can make people feel happy and harmonious and we can totally see why!

According to sciencenordic.com, Biologist Johan Lundström, a researcher who specialises in smell, thought it was so wonderful to smell his daughter's head when she was born that he decided to investigate exactly how a baby's body odour affects people, according to an article published on an online Swedish popular science research magazine called forskning.se.

Lundström and his colleagues conducted experiments with 30 women who were asked to smell the inside of hats that had been worn by newborns. At the same time, the researchers studied their brains with a magnetic camera.

The women were also given other smells. When the researchers compared the different images of the women’s brains, it appeared that the baby smell had a similar effect on the brain as drugs used to treat mental illness.

The researchers now hope that a nasal spray with this distinctive baby smell could be developed as new, safe treatment for mental illnesses such as depression.

How amazing is that?!

Great course, fantastic teacher in Reka she was very informative & gave us plenty of time to absorb the information needed to complete the PFA. The blended course is ideal as I didn't have to spend as much time away from work..

When to keep your child off school or nursery

You’ll want to save this one!

Germ season is fast approaching! The winter months are notorious for the spreading of bugs and illnesses particularly in children in childcare settings and schools.

Here’s a useful graphic showing when you can send your little one into school or nursery (if they are well enough in themselves to go) and when you need to keep them home.

Getting lots of bugs isn’t necessarily a bad thing for young children. In many (not all) illnesses exposure is necessary in order for the immune system to be able to protect them. That said, it can be miserable when you have a constant stream of coughs and colds brought into your home making everyone poorly.

SAVE this post so you can refer to it later and TAG your parent friends who might also find this useful.

And stay tuned as we’ll be posted about each of these illnesses including the symptoms to look out for, when it can be treated at home and when you need to see a GP.

Make sure you’re following us and add us to your favourites so you don’t miss a post!

Little heads, big adventures!
We all want our kids to explore, have fun and feel free — but safety has to come first. A properly fitted helmet can cut the risk of serious head injury by more than half.
That’s why helmet habits should start young and the best way to make them stick? Let your children see you wearing one too. Kids copy what we do, not just what we say.
Take our quick quiz and see how many you got correct and share this with parents who might like a reminder of the importance of helmet safety.
Let’s raise children that see helmets as normal, not optional.
