Coughs and colds? Some hints and tips for looking after your little one when they are feeling under the weather

Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. t’s that time of the year when everyone seems to have a cough or a cold! The typical time for the common cold to make an appearance is between October and April and during this time of the year it can feel like your child has constantly got a cold. Most children before they start school will average 6-8 colds per year, which works out at around 1 cold per month! The good news is that once your child starts school their immunity starts to get better which means that their tendency to catch colds will reduce.

That ‘back to school’ feeling…

Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. It might not feel like it when we are only a few weeks into the holidays, but it’s that time of the year where everyone is thinking and talking about ‘starting school’! When I was planning this blog I was going to cover the usual things to think about when you child is about to start school for the first time, but then realised that even if your child is already at school – be it primary or secondary – they experience very similar emotions and uncertainty about going into a new school year…it isn’t just about starting school.

My 8 top tips for travelling with children

Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. I had one of my first experiences of travelling with children right at the very start of my career. It was with 8-month-old twins, a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old. I vividly remember the sheer volume of ‘stuff’ that we had to pack - anyone would have thought we were going to live in a desert for months, with no access to shops or even running water!
