Baby Swimming MYTH BUSTER!
There is so much guidance about taking your baby for a dip but can you separate fact from fiction? Claire from Aqua Beans gives us her answers.... 1) I must wait until after my baby’s vaccinations before I can swim with my baby MYTH! Per NHS guidelines, you do not need to wait until they have had their vaccinations. The myth is likely to date back to when Polio was common and people were concerned that it could spread in busy places such as swimming pools. There have been no cases of natural Polio in the UK for 35 years. At Aqua Beans, we welcome babies from just 6 weeks and have a special “Newborn Harmony” programme for teeny tiny babies (6-16 weeks) which provides a gentle introduction to the water and magical bonding time for you and your new baby. 2) I am nervous in the water therefore I should avoid taking my little one swimming MYTH! At Aqua Beans, our lessons promote a supportive environment both for grown ups and little ones. The small class sizes mean that the teacher is easily able to adapt activities to suit the individual ability of each and every person in the class. In fact, you’ll probably find that your own confidence in the water starts to blossom after just a few lessons.
3) I should avoid getting my baby’s face wet MYTH! Encouraging babies to dip under the water from an early age means it will become second nature and they are less likely to develop a fear of doing so. However, dips should ALWAYS be child led and never forced. Studies have shown that children who can confidently go underwater stay calmer if they accidently fall in and are able find more recovery strategies. Older children can overcome any fear of submersion with patience and proper coaching so it is never too late. 4) People will judge my post-baby body when I put on a swimming costume MYTH! Here at Aqua Beans we celebrate post-baby bodies. Your body has just done an AMAZING thing and you should never feel ashamed or embarrassed. 5) My child didn’t like their first trip to the pool so I should wait until they are a bit older to try again MYTH! It’s not unusual for little ones to take time to get used to the new sights, sounds, sensations and smells. If your baby doesn’t take like a fish to water straight away then please don’t worry. If you continue to swim regularly and remain relaxed, it won’t be long until it will be hard to get them out the pool! Aqua Beans is a specialist swim school for children 0-10 years.

Successful ‘business mum’ is seeking 5 working partners to work part-time from home, alongside & without compromising family commitmen s or current career. If you have a supervisory, managerial, sales, marketing, recruitment or self-employed background, or you wish to develop an extraordinary lifestyle, read on... Are you looking for a change and want to create a future that allows flexibility and freedom to spend more time with your family? My change began when I realised that a ‘traditional career’ couldn’t give me what I wanted. It couldn’t even give me the security I craved as I was made redundant not once, but twice. Fortunately, these setbacks led me to learn how to run my own home-based business around two young children. Working from home, parttime, using a laptop and a mobile phone. If you are looking for a change and can answer yes to any of the following questions, then you may be exactly who I am looking for, and I may be exactly who you are looking for! Can you free up to 10 hours per week? Do you have a burning desire to change your current Circumstances? Are you a positive, outgoing person and willing to learn? Are you ambitious and driven to succeed? Do you want to run your own business whilst having the support and backup of a successful team behind you?

Taking on a new challenge can be overwhelming, but at the same time so, so worth it! Don’t just listen to me, here’s what my team have experienced:
Sam
Before working with the company, I owned a bridal shop which was my dream job, however as soon as my two children came along it became increasingly expensive and stressful, leading to worry about missing my babies “firsts”. I’d known about this company for years as both my sister and mum are with them; I’d just never thought it was for me! As time went on I really began to see the lifestyles they were developing and the choices it allowed them to make so I knew I’d have amazing training and support just like the entire team do. I knew that to achieve our families goals I needed a good income as well as security and being able to work from home. Finally I decided to join the company myself and it was the best decision I made! Now we are able to have time as family, go on numerous holidays each year, I don’t have to worry about money, and we can make choices based on what we choose rather than what we can afford. afford. We’ve also been able to privately educate our children I have amazing life long customers and friends too thanks to this opportunity.
Georgia
I was 19 when I started working with Nat, whilst on maternity leave after having my first first daughter with a goal of replacing my income so I wouldn’t have to return to work... 5 years on I quickly replaced mine, and my partners monthly income allowing us to both be stay at home parents to our little girls.
Carolyn
With a background in recruitment and customer services, I started with the company 10 years ago, after loving the products. Having been made redundant twice, and really struggling with work/life balance, I took a look at the opportunity… It’s been amazing! I have the income I needed and my pension concerns are gone, and the best part is that I am in control of my life and time and I work it totally around my boys.

ATTACHMENT PARENTING:
IT MIGHT NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK IT IS Attachment Parenting is enveloped in confusion and opinion. It is often perceived as a fringe or extreme approach to parenting, though parents who practise it are simply following their instincts for attunement with their child. You may be practising it yourself without even realising it. A Brief History Attachment Parenting International (API) was founded 25 years ago by Barbara Nicholson and Lysa Parker, in Nashville, Tennessee. They were mothers and teachers who noticed a growing need among students for greater family security and caregiver availability. They founded API to bring information and support to parents through a centralised collection of resources. Today, the Attachment Parenting movement is well-established. Most parents recognise the power of touch, positive discipline and other Attachment Parenting practices. However, the essence of Attachment Parenting has been muddled. It is often confused with other parenting styles, such as permissive parenting (placing very few rules, expectations or demands on the child), helicopter parenting (like helicopters, parents ‘hover overhead’ to oversee every aspect of their child’s life) and natural parenting (based on a desire to live and parent responsively and consciously). API approaches parenting in ways that can be adapted by any parent with the goal and desire of helping children reach their fullest individual potential.
So What IS Attachment Parenting? Attachment Parenting is an application of sensitive responsive parenting. Attachment Parenting is based in the practice of nurturing parenting methods that create strong emotional bonds, also known as secure attachment, between children and their parent(s). Attachment quality is correlated with lifelong effects and often has a much more significant impact than people first assume. A person with a secure attachment is generally able to respond to stress
in healthy ways and establish more meaningful and close relationships. A person with an insecure attachment style may be more susceptible to stress and less healthy relationships. Insecurely attached individuals are at greater risk of mental health concerns, such as anxiety. How parents develop a secure attachment in their child lies in the parent’s ability to fulfill that child’s need for trust, empathy and affection by providing consistent, loving, responsive care. By demonstrating healthy, positive relationship skills, the parent provides emotional scaffolding for the child to learn essential self-regulatory skills.
API’s Eight Principles of Parenting “API’s Eight Principles of Parenting” are designed to give parents tools to apply the concept behind Attachment Parenting. These tools guide parents as they incorporate fostering attachment into their parenting styles:
1 Prepare for pregnancy, childbirth and parenting It is important that parents do research into pregnancy care, childbirth choices and parenting styles. Childbirth without intervention shows the best start to the parent-infant bond. However, there are ways to modify the initial bonding experience for mothers who encounter complications.
2 Feed with love and respect
Research shows unequivocal evidence for breastfeeding for infants along with gentle weaning into nutritious food choices. The physiology of breastfeeding promotes a high degree of maternal responsiveness. In cases where breastfeeding is not possible, bottle-nursing (attentive bottle-feeding) should emulate the closeness of breastfeeding. April-June 2019 Toddle About Warwickshire 17
3 Respond with sensitivity
This is viewed by many parents as the cornerstone to Attachment Parenting. It encompasses a timely response by a nurturing caregiver. Baby-training systems, such as ‘cry it out,’ are inconsistent with this principle. The foundation of responding with sensitivity in the early years prepares parents for parenting in the long-term by modelling respectfulness and kindness.
4 Provide nurturing touch
Parents who ‘wear’ their babies in a sling or body wrap are applying this principle. If your child doesn’t like going in a sling, other forms of nurturing touch can be achieved through massage, hugs, hand-holding and cuddling.
Every parent can incorporate attachment-minded techniques into their childrearing philosophy. Moreover, whilst the basis of Attachment Theory is rooted in studies involving infants and toddlers, research in adult relationships is increasingly showing that attachment quality is an important feature of development and the effects persist over a lifetime. Children of all ages and developmental stages can benefit from parenting that takes attachment into account.
Attachment Parenting may be different, but not necessarily difficult Most parents who incorporate attachment-orientation into their parenting style comment that Attachment Parenting makes their lives smoother. It requires more time and energy than other parenting approaches during the infant stage, or the initial period of time if this approach is introduced to an older child, but it results in an easier relationship long-term because the parent and child are cooperating rather than engaging in power struggles. Even with infants, many families report more sleep and less crying – without sacrificing a parent’s sense of satisfaction – with breastfeeding, baby-wearing and co-sleeping.
5 Ensure safe sleep
Many parents share a bedroom with their young children. Those who exclusively breastfeed and who take necessary safety precautions may prefer to share their bed. However, this principle can be just as easily applied to crib-sleeping situations. The point is that parents should remain responsive to their children during sleep.
6 Use consistent and loving care
Secure attachment depends on continuity of care by a single, primary caregiver. Ideally, this is the parent. However, if both parents work outside the home, this principle can be applied by ensuring that the child is being cared for by one long-term childcare provider who is responsive and empathic.
When it comes to a parent’s happiness, the role that parenting plays is a matter of subjectivity as well. Attachment-minded parents are happy to give their children more attention than not.
7 Practice positive discipline
There has been a strong push against physical punishment in recent years, but research shows that all forms of punishment, including punitive timeouts, can be ineffective and harmful to psychological and emotional development. Parents are encouraged to teach by example and use non-punitive discipline techniques such as substitution, distraction, problem-solving and playful parenting. Rules should be implemented only to teach and guide the child as they develop their sense of moral responsibility.
8 Strive for personal and family balance
Attachment Parenting is a family-centred approach in that all members of the family have equal value. Parents need balance between their parenting role and their personal life in order to continue exerting the energy and motivation needed to maintain a healthy relationship and to model healthy lifestyles for their children.
There is no single way within the eight principles to apply the attachment concept. Parents are advised to use what works, meaning that not every attachmentminded family must choose all of the parenting practices within a certain principle. For example, some families may prefer homebirths and midwives while others opt for birthing centres or hospitals. In the same way, most families strive to breastfeed, but there are fortunately alternatives when this cannot happen. At its core, what differentiates Attachment Parenting from other childrearing approaches is understanding and intentionally applying evidenced-informed practices that support healthy secure attachment. API believes by helping parents shift to being close and responsive, we can raise secure, joyful and empathic children, strengthening families to create a more compassionate world. So perhaps it’s not such an extreme approach after all.

• 150ml double cream • 150ml milk • 120g Gruyere cheese, grated To Decorate: • Carrots, chives, spring onions
1. Preheat the oven to 180C Fan. Grease 6 size 1 ramekins with oil. Trim the tortilla wraps to 14cm diameter circles.

EASTER CHICK & BUNNY CONES
Easter egg hunts are super fun for little ones, but rather than buying a basket for them to collect their goodies in, why not get crafty and make an Easter Cone with them? These cute Easter Bunny and Chick Cones are easy peasy to make and are ideal for collecting hidden Easter treats and eggs from around the house and garden. Alternatively, you could use them as party bags, or add a hole in each side and hang them up as a hiding place for Easter eggs!
How to Assemble 1. Download a printable PDF and print your Easter characters on thin card or paper: www.toddle.club/eastercones 2. Cut carefully around the edge then fold and score the tab.
3. Fold and stick the tab to the opposite side to form a cone. You can use sticky tape to do this so it is ready to decorate immediately. 4. Let your little ones loose with some pens, coloured stickers, felt shapes and pipe cleaners to make the faces of your chick and bunny and make them unique. 5. The cones are now ready to be filled with little treats from the Easter egg hunt!

Have you ever asked yourself why some children’s lives are filled with satisfaction and happiness whilst others experience frustration and despair? Or why some children succeed and others struggle?
IS YOUR CHILD AN ORCHID OR A DANDELION? Following twenty-five years of revolutionary research, Dr Tom Boyce, one of the world’s foremost doctors in paediatric health reveals in his new book that children are either orchids or they’re dandelions. Some children (like orchids) are more sensitive and susceptible to their surroundings, while others (like dandelions) are more likely to be hardy and resilient, able to thrive easily regardless of the conditions around them.
If you answer yes to more than half of the statements then it’s likely that your child is an orchid child. Here are three ways that you can help your child to flourish: Learn when to push, and not push your child. Every child needs encouragement and to be challenged in order to develop but for orchid children this is a fine and delicate line to tread. Find the balance between measured protection and emboldened exposure.
Dr Boyce suggests that by better understanding more sensitive children and the adults they become, parents have the potential to make a positive lasting difference on their lives.
Create a space in which your child is encouraged to express thoughts and feelings. This could be ensuring that each child has equal opportunity to speak at the dinner table by passing around a ‘talking stick’ or similar. This physical object gives each family member a guarantee that their thoughts and opinions will be heard and empowers the orchid child to speak and express, as well as fostering an environment where orchids and dandelions alike are sensitive to these feelings.
If you are wondering whether your child might be an orchid, take a look at these statements to see which resonate: Your child finds it difficult to handle simple critique and disapproval, but generally responds positively to gentle correction Your child seems to think of unusual solutions to problems that their siblings or peers would probably not have devised
Sensitive, susceptible children have more powerful, influential responses to both negative, stressful circumstances and to positive, caring and supportive conditions. Therefore, while all children need attention, orchid children will benefit more from parental time than their dandelion counterparts.
Your child can have a physical pain-like reaction to non-physical activity, such as social conflict resulting in stomach ache Your child feels things very strongly and is quick to display emotion Your child is affected by changes in the physical environment, e.g. lighting, sound, temperature
For further detail on these and more suggestions, read Dr Tom Boyce’s book, The Orchid and the Dandelion (Bluebird, £16.99). It is a profound and optimistic look at how we can better understand more sensitive children and how we can make a positive, lasting difference on their lives. 28 April-June 2019 Toddle About
