Newcastle mum, Sarah Liebetrau, is the writer of the In Focus column in Sunny Days Magazine. Each month Sarah looks at a parenting theory and brings her own personal experiences as a mum of two to bear on her discoveries. Now we bring you Sarah's column online, starting with her debut - Security Concerns - from August 2010.
Toys and kids: they’re words that just seem to go together. And visiting a toy shop or the toy aisle of the local department store with our kids is one of the fun parts of being a parent. But once inside that toy store the battle begins. Which toy? How many? How often? This month Chris Howe and Jayne Kearney look at why toys sometimes turn bad and what they wish they’d done differently.
Wouldn’t life be boring if we all did things the same way? While this is hard to remember when you’re in the middle of a vociferous ‘difference of opinion’ with your parenting partner it stands to reason that kids benefit from experiencing life through many sets of eyes rather than a single shade of beige. This month Chris Howe and Jayne Kearney look at why being different isn’t a bad thing.
