Last month we celebrated Child Safety Week.
This month I am glad to have the opportunity to introduce you to this great resource which I have found.
The NHSTA has website which has lots of information about child safety in cars.
There are videos and printable leaflets on how to install the various types of Child car seats properly. Having your childseat properly installed in your car is essential for your child to be fully protected while travelling in your vehicle.
Here is a video which I found explaining more about the LATCH system in cars and how to choose a suitable car seat for your child.

Preparing for Exams- Mental Preperation
This is the last installment of the three part mini-series on Preparing for Exams. In this 3rd article I will be focusing on the importance of mental preparation
Sitting for an exam can be on of the most stressful scenario for your child.
Here are some tips on how you can reduce test anxiety.
If you have been doing regular revision for your subject you should be confident of the course material that you have covered.
Having enough rest will give you the vitality you need to keep yourself alert during the exam. By giving yourself ample time to get to the examination center early it would prevent you to get stressed up by the possibility that you will be late for the exam.
I always tell my students not to dwindle on a question that they are unsure of but to move on and complete the questions which they are able to answer. They can always go back to the more difficult questions which they have left out earlier when they have finished all the “simpler” questions on the test paper. It is more important to attempt the majority of the question then to leave them blank as you are stuck at one of the question.
