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...

Review of Nurofen For Children

Dear Room

Advantages: honest and thought provoking.
Disadvantages: some work maybe seen as to short.

...about forgeting and things moving on, it covers the changing face of a house he used to wait ouside day after day. Secondly is the title poem 'Dear Room' as you may expect this is the longest in the book covering three pages, this covers the story of the goings on of a room over the years and its first use as a childs play area for games to be played everyday to it gathering dust in lated life and becoming used less and less. Third is 'Helter-Skelter' this doesnt really need any explaination! It is a lighthearted story of a helter skelter through the eyes of the Author when he was a child. Forth is 'Horse and Dolphine Yard' which is a short piece about the author remembering apart of his childhood growing up in china. Fith is 'Party Tricks' quite an adult themed one this one so i'll leave it at that! Sixth is 'Tell' and is a short piece about...

Review of Dear Room - Hugo Williams

Any Room For Me?

Advantages: Great rhyming text and brilliantly illustrated!
Disadvantages: Some children may be a little scared of the beast that emerges from the ditch!

...This is another one of Julia Donaldson's outstanding children's picture books, but perhaps less well known than the Gruffalo, which is a shame as it's a fantastic book which children between 3 - 6 can enjoy and even older! ~ Julia Donaldson ~ Julia Donaldson began her career writing songs for children's television. In 1993 one of her songs 'A squash and A Squeeze' was made in to a book. Since then she has written over 40 books and is probably best known for 'The Gruffalo' which won three major British Book Awards. Other books by her include: * Monkey Puzzle * The Gruffalo * Fox's Socks * Postman Bear * The Gruffalo's Child * Rabbit's Nap * Hide and Seek Pig - The Story - In true Julia Donaldson style the story told in rhyme. It begins with a witch and her cat flying through the sky on her broomstick when...

Room On The Broom

Advantages: Fantastic Book with Amazing illustrations
Disadvantages: None

...Room On The Broom is written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffer. Fantastic book wih amazing illustrations. Julia Donaldson is best known for her prize-winning picture books, but she began her career as a singer and a songwriter, and even spent time busking round Italy and France. She continues to perform her stories, songs and plays to sell out audiences and is the most celebrated writer for young children in Britain today.

Review of Room on the Broom Board Book - Julia Donaldson

Happy Parents...Happy Children

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

.... ********************** CHILDREN?S CENTER ********************** For the process of this review I will concentrate upon the main childrens center I go to, bringing in aspects of the others I have visited. Unfortunately I am unable to review every one around the country or even county though hopefully this will give you a good idea of what these centers are like. On walking into the children?s center you are immediately hit with how safe and secure the center is with a buzz in door and staff member in the reception office looking onto the outside. Signing in and out is also mandatory in case of fire. Doors are also shut in a child proof way to stop the children wandering from one room to another if the parent takes their eyes off of them for a second (with my daughter that?s all it takes!). On our first visit we were shown around the center. It is not overly big...

Review of Buckinghamshire Children and Young People's Trust

The Common Room, Sheffield

Advantages: Good atmosphere, long opening hours
Disadvantages: Not everyones sort of thing

...It's not often that I am overly impressed by the new bars that open in Sheffield. They come and go frequently and often change names overnight. The Common Room is however one such place that I did walk into and say "wow!" because its discreet entrance offers no hint of what is to be found inside. Located on Devonshire Street next to The Forum shopping complex this is a place that lies right in the heart of the city centre's student quarter. The Forum shopping complex has built up a reputation in recent years as a place to hang out and be seen and there are many small expensive boutique style shops whilst The Forum bar is a frequent haunt of the city's pop stars (past and present) and you even might spot a footballer or too as well. The Common Room opened in 2006 and occupies the area above both The Forum Bar and the shopping centre...
