A guide to foot care for kids by Rachael of The Little Shoe Company (a member of The Society of Shoe Fitters & The Children’s Foot Health Register) One of the most important yet most abused parts of the body is our feet. Many foot and back problems in later life are caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes as a child.

From birth to early teens feet are at their most vulnerable, in fact, there are 26 bones in the foot and they do not completely ossify (harden) until around the age of eighteen.

A child is ready for their first pair of shoes ‘when the child is walking most of the day and wants to walk outside’. At that time the child needs a pair of shoes to protect his or her feet.

Have your child’s feet measured and shoes checked by a qualified shoe fitter every 6-8 weeks (0-5 years) and every 10-12 weeks thereafter. They will not necessarily need new shoes every time. A qualified shoe fitter will not sell a pair of shoes unless needed and will be happy to measure and advise accordingly. Their fitting gauge is only a guide and a good fitter interprets the correct shoe for the shape of the foot.

Buy footwear made of natural materials eg. Leather, cotton etc. as these materials breathe and mould to the foot.

Never hand shoes down. They take on the shape of the previous wearer – they will rub and not support in vital areas and can harbour infections.

Buy cotton or wool socks, and check seams for a “casting-off” knot that can rub toes. Socks and baby-grows that are too small at the toes will restrict growth and circulation.

Oates Hill Health Centre, Forest St, Sutton, Call 01623 5577136

2. Children: If your children are 5 or over, you can get them to roughly chop the pepper, roasted pepper, apple and tomatoes for the salsa using a good quality firm plastic knife or cutlery knife.

Otherwise do this yourself. Younger children can pick the leaves from the coriander and mix them into the salsa.

3. Grown-ups: Tip the salsa ingredients into a food processor,

along with the lime juice and a little seasoning and pulse until finely chopped. Take out 2 large spoons of the mixture for younger children, then add chilli sauce, if using, and pulse again to combine.

4. Children: Squeeze or spoon the avocado into a bowl and use a potato masher to mash it. Stir in the lime juice and some black pepper with a spoon.

Rehearsals held in Mansfield

Rehearsals in Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Hucknall or West Bridgford To be performed at the Bonington Theatre Arnold (all centres)

Bookings now being taken for our Lion King inspired Summer Camps “Circle of Life” (14th-16th August West Bridgford & 21st-23rd August in Mansfield) www.newyouththeatre.co.uk/mansfield www.newyouththeatre.co.uk/nottingham New Youth Theatre is extremely pleased to announce that their next senior production will be a brand new musical version of “A Christmas Carol”. Rehearsals will begin in September and the show will be staged at the Palace Theatre Mansfield on the 19th & 20th November 2019.

For many around the world, Christmas isn’t Christmas without revisiting the well loved tale of the penny-pinching miser, Ebenezer Scrooge and the awakening of his long forgotten festive spirit. This ghostly tale of the Past, Present and Future is brought to life in this exciting new musical adaptation. When the spirit of Jacob Marley, his former partner, tells Scrooge he must know his responsibilities, Scrooge is taken on a very busy night to show him the error of his ways. With the Ghost of Christmas Past illustrating the importance of family and friends, Christmas Present representing charity and benevolence and Future bringing in its wake what should happen if all these lessons are forgotten, Scrooge becomes a changed man.

Bringing the atmosphere of Victorian Christmas traditions to the stage, this vibrant and joyous musical takes you on a journey of discovery. A journey where the true meaning of Christmas is found. With a cavalcade of colourful Dickensian characters and a ghostly quartet of guardians, A Christmas Carol is the perfect way to get you into the Christmas Spirit.

The New Youth Theatre concept is simple. Children between the ages of 3-17 years are taught how to develop and improve their performing arts skills whilst rehearsing for a fully staged musical each term. Taster Sessions are being held on Saturday 24th August 2019.

To join the energetic cast in this and future productions call:
