Top 10 Tips for How to Minimise Anxiety in Children When Moving House by psychologist Emma Kenny
Dec 02 2019
My favourite UK psychologist Emma Kenny has recently worked with Purplebricks to produce a free children’s guide downloadable here called A Kids Guide to Moving House written in collaboration with the Diary of a Wimpy Kids series to help families through the moving process. London Mums get to exclusively share her top 10 tips here.
Moving to a new house is considered one of the most stressful experiences that a family can go through, and whilst to some degree even the smoothest of moves can pose a fair few challenges, the experience can be made easier when all family members feel involved.
Children, just like adults, feel a whole host of emotions when they contemplate what a move of home and area can bring. These range from elation and excitement to absolute terror, so it is absolutely paramount to understand how your kids feel throughout the relocation process.
Exclusive juicy Rock stories by Slade iconic guitarist Dave Hill
Nov 29 2019
I know it’s the start of the festive season when I receive a phone call by Dave Hill, iconic guitarist with legendary glam rockers Slade, who get back on the road for a series of Christmas gigs. He always remembers me because we seem to connect over our shared passion for rock music.
Last time we spoke, a year ago, he told me he was working on what became So Here It Is: The Autobiography, the heart-felt story of his incredibly colourful life, from his childhood, humble beginnings as a musician and his raise to rock star status. Then there’s that festive smash, of course, ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’, one of six UK No.1 singles and 16 top-10 hits (added to three No.1 LPs and five top-10s).
This is not the usual interview where I ask questions but more a catch up with Dave telling me lots of anecdotes of his Slade days on the road. And being Slade a very ‘tactile band’ (in Dave’s own words), there are a lot of stories to uncover.

Indestructible Treads school shoes review
Nov 25 2019
My 13-year old son loves his Treads school shoes because they are very comfortable but not at the expense of the robustness. He has been using them for a few weeks now and they still look brand new. This is a first! School shoes are put under a huge pressure day in day out. They have to be resilient and they cannot be the cheap from the supermarkets either because the foot health would be compromised.
Treads can get the perfect fit, because you can measure the child’s feet as shown on the website and order the appropriate size.
