Summer is in full swing, and with it, I know many parents worry about their children’s learning and academic skills. It’s best to preventatively guard against the ‘summer slide’ and manage your little one’s education without the structure of school. We’ve carried a useful piece on page 33, filled with wonderful ideas on how to keep kids’ minds engaged through games, play, and everyday activities, so they’re sharper than ever when that first school bell rings!

Going back into the classroom after summer is a shock to the system, and you’ll notice a big difference in your child’s responsibilities and routines. It’s a period of change, and I know you want to do everything you can to make this as easy as possible! With that in mind, you’ll find ten tips on page 28 for a smooth transition into the academic year for all the family.

As you can see, this is a very special edition of Mother Baby & Child, as it’s the first time we’ve featured a man on the front cover! And not just any man - it’s a new father. When pregnant, many women have concerns such as fear of birth, how to handle work life, whether they will be a good mother and how to look after a newborn. So it can be no surprise that new fathers-to-be also have secret concerns. The difference is that in general, men tend to communicate these fears and stresses much less than women. 

We’re nearing the end of the school year and every mum knows how their individual child feels about that! For many kids, exam season brings out anxiety and other children can’t wait to see the back of their school! It’s a time to assess how school has gone and whether your child is really getting exactly what they need from their education.
