Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader The dreaded cold and flu season is back and now is the time to start planning how to keep you and your family well during this winter season.

It may be as simple as eating a healthy diet, taking vitamins and exercising on a regular basis. I wish you good luck on your quest for a sniffle-free winter!

So get warm and cosy and enjoy some great reading. Increase your child’s daily fruit and veg intake with some quick and healthy breakfast ideas. Also, Is Parenting ruining your Relationship?

We look at some ways that may help relieve the pressure on your marriage. Alison Burton explains the possible reasons children believe there are monsters under the bed and shares a handy idea on how to deal with the situation. Plus lots more!

Claydreamers is our Editorial Business of the Month for our June issue. Claydreamers offers pottery lessons to adults and children in a well equipped studio in Eltham, including specialised workshops and children’s School Holiday workshops. Further information can be found on page 16.

IF YOUR CHILD CAN WALK, YOUR CHILD CAN RIDE! No more tricycle tip-overs or training wheel wobbles With the Strider Balance Bike, there are no tricycle tip-overs or training-wheel wobbles to create a fear, hesitancy, or dislike of bike riding. The Strider balance bike helps toddlers learn balance and coordination BEFORE pedaling, which develops glittering confidence. So ditch the tricycle and training wheels, and teach your child to ride a bike sooner and safer with a Strider.

For ages 18 months to 5 years.
