Why you need a Will! Writing a Will is essential, however few people get around to doing it. In fact, over 75% of adults in the UK die without a Will. A Will is often thought of as just the place where one distributes ones assets after death, but a Will also has a very important role to play, particularly for all parents with young children and especially for those who are not married. Your Will is the appropriate place to appoint Guardians for your children in the event of both parents dying. If this is not done it may be down to the Courts to decide who your children will live with. It is also the place to ensure the financial needs of both your children and the appointed Guardians. Trust Funds can be set up in your Will and used for the benefit of your children. In your Will you also name the Trustees who are going to administer these funds. Shortland and Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on 020 8397 5176 or email wills@shortlandsawbridge.co.uk A special discount is available to readers of The Family Grapevine. If you mention this article when making your appointment we will write your Will for the special price of just £120 each or £140 for a pair.

GRIN AND BEAR IT! New survey shows burden of Endometriosis in Teenagers and Young Women Endometriosis UK announce the results of a survey of 1000+ teenagers and young girls that shows the impact of endometriosis on their lives. Key findings from the survey include that: - 77% had time off school/study/work for their periods - 38% had seen their doctors more than five times for period pain Of those that went back to the doctor again after hormone and painkiller treatment failed, most were either referred to a gynaecologist or given laparoscopy (the only way to positively diagnose endometriosis). However, a significant proportion were told that the pain they were experiencing was normal, to try a hot water bottle, to live with it or think about getting pregnant. Previous research by Endometriosis UK found an 11 year delay in diagnosis, and this survey suggests that endometriosis may have a greater impact on the quality of life of teenagers and younger women than has previously been recognised.

As reflexology can help to restore the body’s natural equilibrium, it is an excellent therapy to encourage the regulation of ovulation and hormone balancing during the preconception period. During pregnancy, reflexology can help to reduce oedema, ease the aches and pains pregnancy and reduce your stress levels; in some cases even prompt the start of labour.

Who says childbirth has to be feared?

Your hypnotherapist will explain why there is fear surrounding childbirth then teach you breathing techniques, visualisation and guided imagery that will enable you to reach a deeply relaxed state that helps you and your baby to remain calm during labour and the birth. So how do I know that Hypnobirthing works? I’ve had two of my three children using this method and would recommend it to anyone. It worked for me and I’m just an ordinary mum to three boys and Editor of The Family Grapevine!

Self Balance

Hypnobirthing takes the fear out of the birthing process. When the fear is taken away your anxiety about the birth will fade too, which in turns lowers your adrenaline levels so you are more relaxed and have an enjoyable birthing experience.

Yoga during Pregnany Pregnancy is a wonderful time to practise yoga. It helps keep the body supple without straining. Yoga breathing helps you to relax, improves circulation and will help you relieve the pain of labour in childbirth. Yoga brings a sense of well-being as well as physical fitness. It helps you to relax and focus; by practicing yoga you can tune in to the changes in your body as your baby grows inside you. Many of the common discomforts that might arise during pregnancy may be eased by the yoga. Regular attendance at the classes will help you to develop confidence in your body’s ability to give birth. As well as yoga, you will practice positions and movements, visualisation and breathing techniques to help you to stay calm and focused during labour.

Safe Treatments for Baby & Mum-2-Be Nicholas J Oram qualified in 1994 with a BSc in Chiropractic and is the owner of Sunbury Chiropractic Centre. He also works alongside Drs Christine Gardiner and Mumuksh Patel at the Glebe Street G.P. Surgery in Chiswick. Chiropractic and cranial treatment is a very gentle and safe treatment which can be given to pregnant Mums up to the day of delivery for conditions e.g. back ache, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), sacroiliac instability, sciatica and acid reflux. Treatment for a new born from as young as a day old involves gentle massage and muscular releases together with cranial work so gentle that when babies arrive asleep, they often don’t wake up during the treatment. Some of the conditions treated are colic, constipation, reflux, sleeping / feeding difficulties and general grizzliness or unexplained crying. Most of these conditions can be helped quickly and successfully by chiropractic without needing to take medication at such a tender age.

The detatchable umbrella can also be used as a conventional hand held brolly too on child-free occasions!  www.handsfreebrolly.co.uk 01280 814964

If you’ve ever had concerns over the convential use of cot bumpers then this could be the product for you. Jane of Bumpsters came up with the innovative idea of wrapping the bars individually to stop little ones bumping their heads whilst still allowing air to circulate freely and eliminating the risk of suffocation. Beautifully coloured to compliment any nursery they also come in various sizes and colours.  www.bumpsters.co.uk 01932 344 373

Naming ceremonies are wonderful, warm & joyous occasions, a non-religious alternative to welcome a new child, to pledge your love and commitment, joy and hopes for their future and to formally give their name. Each is written individually and can be conducted by an Accredited Humanist Celebrant at your chosen venue or even at home.

Greenfield School Greenfield is a co-educational Preparatory School for boys and girls aged from 3 to 11 years. We are proud to offer high standards of education and are committed to realising the full potential of every child. Children receive a thorough grounding and a rich diversity of experience which goes far beyond the mere academic. Children gain in confidence and acquire the knowledge, skills and understanding that will take them comfortably into the next stage of their schooling.

GREENFIELD SCHOOL

Preparatory School for boys and girls aged 3-11 years

Although Greenfield is non-selective it does achieve year on year scholarships to independent senior schools in the fields of music, sport, art and academia. Greenfield children have an abundance of self-esteem and confidence - the best predictors to future success.

Staff provide excellent pastoral care from the Early Years right through to Year 6 in an environment which fosters self-esteem, confidence, humility, tolerance and respect. The school has high expectations of pupils and the high quality provision for pupils in the Nursery and Early Years Department gives them a very good start to their school life and which leads to good achievement and very good personal development. We greatly value our partnership with parents.

This is Greenfield at play - why not make an appointment to come and see us at work?

Greenfield is a special place to work and learn. Please contact the School Office 01483 772525 for an appointment. Our Open Day is on Saturday 14th March 2009 between 10am and 12 noon.

Recycling around the world

We all try to recycle on a weekly basis to reduce landfill but do you have items at home that you no longer use but would donate to a worthwhile cause? John and Alice Tumusiime oversee a primary school and vocational unit at Rukungiri in south-west Uganda. Of the 1000 children, 500 have been orphaned through the aids pandemic, and they are not only being given an education but trained in a skill so that they can earn a living. Emmanuel church in Mayford, Woking, are arranging for a sixth 10 tonne container to be shipped to the school/training centre this month and are appealing for unwanted goods which can give these children a hope for the future. The following list is not exhaustive but will give you some idea of suitability.

Tools - all carpentry and metalworking and car mechanics (inc garden tools). Sewing - machines and anything you would normally find in a work-basket (zips, buttons, cottons, scissors etc.); knitting needles and knitting machines and wool, including coned wool. Unfinished embroidery, tapestry or cross -stitch kits (a real treat for the older girls).

Cookery - kitchen mixers (especially Kenwood Chef or similar), pressure cookers (even if bits missing), bread makers, heavy bottom saucepans and any sturdy equipment like mincers. Harry
