Today's Features in Older Child

Worry arrives on our doorstep along with the stork. As our children grow, the worry doesn't go away, it just changes. We stop worrying about getting them out of nappies and getting them to sleep at night - when they start school we find ourselves trying to help them negotiate friendships - by the time they are teenagers we start worrying about where they are, who they're with, what time they'll be home....in many ways, when our children are older they need us more. We go from being a carer and provider to needing a psychology degree and UN diplomacy skills.

Local Schools:
All schools (nursery, primary, secondary and independent), are now listed on Netmums!
That means you can comment on your school so prospective parents can see what you think! The views of others are like gold-dust when choosing a school...
Find your local schools here.
