How to explain bad news to a child

2 December, 2013 by farhan 3 Comments

Not a particularly merry blog post but it’s something that we need to consider.  Fortunately I’ve not yet been in the position to break bad news to my kids, but it’s something it’d be foolish not to consider thinking about how to explain bad news to a child. To protect them or to tell them […]

A lot’s been written and spoken about comparing your child to others, whether their your own kids or other kids, we all know that it can be damaging to the self confidence of the child to compare them and their achievements to others.  But in the real world, grown ups are compared to each other […]

Should you let your child play with your iPad, Android or Surface tablet?

should_you_let_your_child_play_with_your_iPad

Should you or shouldn’t you let your child play with your iPad, Android or Surface tablet? I guess this is the same debate that our parents had when we were growing up playing on our games consoles.  I think the debate here goes further though as today’s tablets have much more functionality than the games […]

How many times do you ask your child to do the same thing?

7 September, 2013 by farhan Leave a Comment

For all the talk and endless books and blogs about why we should never shout at our children or ever lose our temper with them, which is quite right, let’s face it we do.  We get angry when they don’t listen to us.  I’m not going to get into the rights and wrongs of it, […]

how much TV should i let my child watch

‘Don’t let you children watch TV it will pollute their minds!’  Well there are truths, lies and partial truths. I think that this is a partial truth, I would substitute certain channels in here rather than the concept of TV as a whole. When I had one child I would put the TV on in […]

how_to_balance_your_time_between_2_children

I have to admit, I was totally unprepared for just how much difference there is between going from having one child to having two.  Leading up to the birth of my second child I did talk to a lot of people with two kids on how to deal with balancing whatever little time I had […]
