Letters from Santa

When I was a child, I had a personalised Christmas book, in which I embarked on an adventure with an elf named Twinkletoes. It was easily my favourite book next to Larry and the Dinosaurs. Anyway, my point is, personalised things have a big impact on kids. With that in mind….

This Christmas the NSPCC are once again running their Letters From Santa campaign.

For a suggested donation of £5 “Santa” will write a personalised letter to your child including their name, age and address. If you get them for multiple children in the house they’ll all receive different letters too.

Chores are good for kids!

Yes, according to THE OBSERVER on Saturday, getting your kids to do chores is a brilliant idea for a myriad of reasons. And proper chores too, none of this clearing the plates after dinner, no. Turns out that up until the 70s kids were given much higher degrees of responsiblity and that this aided their development.

The survey conducted also learned that British children “earn” approximately £700 million a year from partaking in “chores” and that this probably isn’t a great idea. Click through to the article for more facts to back up getting your kids to do things for free.
