Welsh Homework Support/Cefnogi Gwaith Cartref

There is an exciting new group for pre-school children coming to this area soon.

Talking Tots is a new venture for South Wales and will be launched in Bridgend early next month. It is a range of classes for children from 12 months old until school age. The aim is to teach them social confidence, listening and attention skills, sharing and turn-taking skills, etc. through structured sessions.

What best way to start the New year than eating healthier. Family life is so busy that healthy eating becomes difficulty and time-consuming; but why not this year view healthy eating as a great adventure, one where there are as many approaches as there are good foods.

IS MODERN LIFE RUINING CHILDHOOD?

• Junk Food
• Increased Technology
• Lack of Human Interaction
• Faster pace of life
• Poor quality Childcare……..

This question has been hotly debated for many years; however a new wave of interest has arose after the publishing of Sue Palmers book ‘Toxic Childhood’.

The CIS team has been out and about doing fun craft activities...making Hungry Caterpillairs....and much more...

We attend North Cornelly's Parent and Toddler Group on the first Thursday of the month. The group meets:

• At the Integrated Children's Centre in North Cornelly
• From 10am till 11.30am

Check it, don't chance it. Don't leave safety to chance. Quick simple checks can prevent many childhood accidents.

The Child Accident Prevention Trust (capt) is a national charity committed to reducing the number of children and young people who are killed, disabled or seriously injured as a result of accidents.

Children in Wales along with the Welsh assembly government have produced a booklet intended to provide ideas, help and advice for parents/carers of children in regards to dealing with children's behaviour.

Keeping the children amused is easier than you think. Have a look at our Fun Activity Page for some ideas of what you can get up to:

• Enjoy a swim or sports class.
• A show at the Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl.
• Ideas for a Day Trip.
• List of local Libraries
• Creative craft activities.
• Cheap and cheerful game ideas and much more.....
