PAIN RELIEF FOR CHILDREN

Advantages: Does not contain paracetamol
Disadvantages: can cause side effects

...I am not a huge user of paracetamol based medicines and was using Calpol for a while for my son and when I realised that here was now a Nurofen for children on the market in syrup form too I began to use that. I have been taking Nurofen for as long as I can remember, it contains brufen but doesn't contain any paracetamol at all so as an adult you can take this along with paracetamol but this is not recommended for children. Also this should not be used if your child suffers from asthma or has stomach pains (same goes for adults). It comes in a brown plastic bottle with a child proof lid on it (that goes without saying really) with the word Nurofen clearly marked on it in red letters on a grey background. It comes with a measureing guide which looks like a syringe, my son screamed when he first saw it until I had to reassure him...

Children Of The Corn review

Advantages: Good cast, creepy setting, entertaining
Disadvantages: None

...Children of the Corn is a horror film adapted from the short story by Stephen King. It was made in 1984 and stars Peter Horton, Linda Hamilton and John Franklin as Isaac, the child preacher. A young couple find a briefcase with blood on it so drive into what seems like a normal mid-western town called Gatlin to try and report the incident to the police, but find only children and no adults to be found. They try to find out what happened in this town, but as Burton heads to the town hall, his girlfriend, Vicky, is captured and brought to Isaac, the head of all the children. He says he is spoken to by 'he who walks behind the rows', meaning the rows of corn, and has brainwashed everyone into doing and believing whatever he says. Fortunately, there is a brother and sister who want out of this murderous cult, and so help Brandon get Vicky...

Happy Parents...Happy Children

Advantages: Offers a wide range of friendly and fun services
Disadvantages: Not all towns will have a center

...Buckinghamshire Children?s Centers As a mum of a nearly two year old, very active, daughter, I am always on the lookout for new and exciting things for her to do and what with the colder weather setting in, there is a limit to where I can take her outside especially as she has ?funny blood? I call it and gets very cold and blue very easily. I take her to many toddlers though not long ago just down the road from where I live, a new Children?s center opened attached to the local school and me and a friend who has a young three year old boy decided to try it out. ************* SURESTART ************* Sure Start began in 1998 and is a government initiative with the main aim of helping young children have the best start in life through childcare improvements, early education, health and family support.

The Children of Men

Advantages: A chilling story, menacing atmosphere
Disadvantages: Can be a bit slow at times

...P.D. James is a successful British crime fiction writer but having never read her work before, I picked this book up out of interest after vaguely hearing about the film based on it. "The Children of Men" is not a crime fiction novel but is instead a dystopian novel set in a future England where no-one has been able to have a child for twenty-five years. The novel is all about the consequences of this mass childlessness on society. I have to say I quite enjoyed it and thought it had a nicely menacing air. It was quite indebted to Orwell's "1984" in some ways but was by no means a replica. The main character is Theo, who isn't always a sympathetic protagonist as he can be quite irritating and also cold. He is the cousin of the Warden of England who is basically a dictator. The book begins with Theo's diary, in which we find out more...

Nurofen for children sachets

Advantages: Long lasting, quick acting, tastes nice, easy to use
Disadvantages: Can be expensive. Need to use spoon rather than oral syringe

...Nurofen for children has been a god send to me. It is a great alternative to the paracetamol based products for children such as Calpol etc. What is it? Basically it is a oral suspension designed for babies and children from the age of 3 months old. It is colour free, sugar free and flavoured orange. The sachets come in 5ml and contain 100mg of ibuprofen. What is it used for? The main use of nurofen for children is to help ease pain associated with toothache, muscular pains, minor aches, headache and to help ease cold and flu symptoms and to help reduce fever. How to use? The sachet form is very easy to use and is good for when you are out and about. On the back of the nurofen for children pack is a age chart which tells you how much to give you child and how often to give it. Before you open the sachets you massage them...

Review of Nurofen For Children

bbc.co.uk/weather

Advantages: Very informative site from the Beeb
Disadvantages: None

...The BBC?s weather site?now there?s an interesting thing to review?? Surely it?s just a page with an up-to-date weather map on it?and perhaps an outlook for the next few days? Well, yes you?d be right. But it does have more to it than that? The light blue homepage does show a satellite image of the British Isles, with various cities pinpointed on the map to help with those who don?t know where London is?oh dear?but obviously they?re just for reference points. As I type, there seems to be an awful lot of rain heading our way. Those in Ireland are currently getting soaked! There is a slider along the bottom of the map which you can manually move to see what will happen to the weather over the course of the next few days. It could be a wet one looking at this! You can change the map to a temperature map, but at this time of year...

"Children's minds" could change yours

Advantages: Easily accessible, thought provoking, well written
Disadvantages: Well, if you're not interested in children or education, you probably won't be taken

...This book by Margaret Donaldson should be compulsory reading for people who work with young children, and, come to that, for parents. It gives not only an easily accessible overview of Piagetian theory of child development, but in the same go demolishes many of the main tenets of said theory. Scottish psychologist Donaldson worked at Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget's lab early on in her carreer, and uses her familiarity with his theory of cognitive development to modify and rethink the idea that young children are extremely limited in their capability to think logically. She refutes Piaget's idea that young children lack the ability to see the world from other viewpoints than their own, and argues instead that they simply find it difficult to "disembed" their thinking from physical reality. Teaching them this, she says...

Review of Children's Minds - Margaret Donaldson

Great edutainment for Children

Advantages: commercial advertisment free, qulaity educational programming
Disadvantages: series repeats drives parents nuts

...the afternoon. This is not true of all shows, however, so it is handy to have a recording device to make sure your child does not miss his favourite show. Having Sky+ has been a sanity saviour for me with this, as I can record a couple programmes my son likes, and not have the unfortunately not new material (yet another series repeat) go on in my ear. Yes, this is the downside. Children's shows do not get as much funding, so that Bob the Builder you are watching will come on again in 3 days?..twice. And again a couple days after that. Ad nauseaum. ARGH! For me, but it does not seem to faze a three year old at all, and that is who this is aimed at, so he is a very happy customer! I have to say that the shows are engaging to children, the presenters likable and lively, and I appreciate knowing that my 3 year old will not be urged to take out a loan...
