Most of us are guilty of preaching to our kids (well I do in my house) about how they should eat their dinner, do all their homework and keep their room tidy. And while we mean well it can be a little annoying to kids to hear the same thing every day. But my little girl caught me out recently, and she left me so completely stumped that I felt guilty for the whole day. One morning, I was eating my...

My daughter’s return to school this week has signalled the beginning of yet another year of worry. Not mine I hasten to add, but hers. For a child so capable and confident, she worries more than anyone I’ve ever known. Since she began school three years ago, every end-of-year report has noted this particular trait of hers and mentioned specific methods will may help in the coming year...

Much and all as we’d like to bond with each and every fellow mum in the school yard, it’s simply not possible to get on with everybody. I consider myself relatively easygoing (although I’m sure my children would wholeheartedly disagree) and I attempt to find a common ground with the majority of people I spend time with, but let’s face it, some people and their personalities are just...

Like most children, I screamed bloody murder when I awoke after a particularly hellish nightmare. The notion that I sounded like horror personified was the last thing on my mind as I shrieked for my mother and attempted to unpeel myself from my sweat-soaked sheets. I paid scant regard to my mother’s demeanour once she eventually crossed my threshold and held me close. Was she frightened by my...

I am a 19year old mum and I think i'm doing everything wrong compared to mummies that are older than me! My son's behaviour is really uncontrollable, he's just turned 16 months and i'm constantly being told he's bad because i'm still a kid myself. I try and do everything the best i can, when my son has tantrums I sit away but still in sight, let him get on with it then comfort him when he's...

Time and time again we, as parents, are warned about the dangers of social media and the importance of teaching our kids how to stay safe when online. However, a recent video , which MummyPages reported on, shows that no matter how often we speak to them about the dangers it doesn’t mean they are actually listening. In the video YouTuber Coby Persin worked with the parents of girls aged 12, 13...

My next door neighbour recently became a mum for the first time. Aware her husband works incredibly long hours, I’ve been trying to pop in as often as I can. Last week, she opened the door to me with a haunted look in her eyes, but still beckoned me in with her usual smile. Bouncing her son on my knee, I chatted as usual and she kept up with the conversation before suddenly glancing at the...

I am well aware of the dangers of the sun and the importance of applying cream to my daughter’s delicate skin, but I’m also well aware of how much of a pain it actually is! Add to the fact that I reapply all over every hour as I'm t errified my baby girl will get the slightest tinge of red, sometimes I love when the sun doesn’t come out. Admittedly, the weather has not been the best this...

My mother always told me I’d need eyes in the back of my head once I become a mum. While obviously I understood the phrase, I didn’t truly appreciate the sentiment until very recently. Despite having been a mother for fifteen years, I have, thankfully, endured very few scares when it comes to my children’s whereabouts. While getting lost in a supermarket or going momentarily missing during a...

The media has recently been awash with reports of parents accidentally leaving their children trapped in cars and I’ll be honest, I can barely read them without experiencing an almost physical reaction. When I hear members of the public slamming those ‘idiotic’ and ‘irresponsible’ parents, I swallow against my nausea and silently agree, all the while knowing I am the very parent they are...
