We live in a time where there’s never been more opportunities. Technology is developing faster than we can comprehend. Life is different now, to how it was 10 years ago. The only guarantee? Change.

What are these skills? There’s a few o ..read more

As a parent, you know how easy it is for your children to accumulate toys.

The times certainly are changing. When you were young, you’d climb trees, make sheet ‘forts’ and play in your neighbour’s backyard. Now? Kids these days often know more about technology than adults.

As a technology-conscious parent, you don’t have to boycott the new innovations altogether. They do offer great opportunities to consume information, engage with friends, and grow technical skills. But this should come later, maybe in their early teens – n ..read more

Sometimes as parents it feels like we need to constantly entertain our kids to prevent them getting bored. But boredom may sometimes be exactly what kids need.

Now as parents we are bombarded with information about all the educational games we need to play with our children, the crafts we should be doing with them and the developmental steps we should be encouraging. All of this structured education leaves little room for children to explore thei ..read more

Even the most energetic, fearless toddler hesitates when brought to the pool. Learning to swim happens from a young age and it takes time for our little ones to find their feet (and strokes).

Either way, there are toys available to help increase their water confidence and make pool time something they look forward ..read more

Your child’s toy collection grows fast, especially around the holidays. Aunts, uncles, friends and Father Christmas usually give toys and, soon enough, there’s more than your kids ever need.

Toxicity in toys isn’t a topic that gets explored enough, so it’s timely with Christmas coming up to be proactive about the items you need, rather than accepting just any gift. Because toy safety goes beyond w ..read more
