Our kids today …

Hi everyone ,

Are our children being influenced by social media and the digital world we live in more than we think ? Can we bring in more of David Attenborough and the animal kingdom he so adores please? I use author Tok and when I go on tik tok I see kids dressed almost like adults dancing quite elaborate steps and sequences that must have taken ages to perfect. Is America correct in attempting to ban TikTok … will it happen ? More importantly will the UK do the same ?

Can we please spend more time building Lego pirate ships and smugglers coves or build dance / art studios instead. Can we go for long country walks and try identify all the trees and flowers we see along the way ? Can we go out into our gardens , patios or balconies and plant some seeds and wait for them to develop into flowers … life is precious , nature is precious and the world we live in equally so. Hence we need to bring up children with a passion for saving this beautiful planet and keeping it peaceful. If you agree let me know.

One of my book series deals with the world about us and mindfulness. It’s all about living in the moment and knowing everything there is to know about this wonderful world of ours. Here are some of the pages I popped into the me,you and the universe series and the 5th one on the clouds is all about forests, jungles and trees because the monkeys in the story loved climbing trees.

Happy learning

It’s important to keep your children up to date on current affairs. A good way to do that is with the help of Newsround, it’s a great programme for young children as it explains things carefully. It’s important children know who’s who in the world and what different parties represent. The American system is different to our own but get them used to using vocabulary like … democrats ,republicans and for our system the conservatives ,labour and reform to mention just a few. When you feel they are old enough let them watch the early news with you so you can explain what is happening. Special events should always be discussed and examined in my opinion as they just may encourage your child to move into a career you did not expect them to. Also it will help prepare them for university and the debates there. Happy viewing and discussing E x

Over two days shocking news has made most people fear letting their children go anywhere alone. Both incidents involved knives , a young child called Leo was murdered yesterday by other boys a little older than him but still children. He was never to go home again ! Today we were reminded of the Southport killings. Brutal facts emerged from the survivors and witnesses as to how three young girls happily dancing were fatally stabbed. All three never to go home again. The murderer at the time was under 18! What is happening. How can we stop knifecrime crime ? Should people / children under 18 commiting these terrible crimes remain anonymous ? I don’t think so. How can parents spot the signs apparently in the case of the Southport murderer the parents had notified the police about their concerns and his behaviour but nothing was done. The state of the lounge horrified me no wonder the parents were concerned! Could they not discipline him ? Did he go to school … were the teachers concer...
