We hope that you have had an enjoyable Christmas break and now another new year stretches out ahead of us! January and February can be quiet months, but we have found you some activities for your little ones in our What’s On guide on pages 22-23. Inside this issue you will find Education articles on: ‘The learning habits of smart kids’ on page 6, ‘Pastoral care in primary schools’ on pages 8-9, ‘Supporting highly able children at home’ on page 11 and ‘Early years; the new childcare offering’ on page 15. When we saw an article on ‘Three simple rules for a peaceful home’ on page 17, we couldn’t wait to have a read; we are sure many of you feel the same! ‘Feeling more alive in 2025’ is a great one for a new year and can be found on pages 20-21, along with one of our usual features; ‘Book Club’ where we interview MC Grammar on page 19.
