Read all about it: nurturing your bookworm
Article Abstract:
Many parents feel very nervous about helping their child to learn to read. they feel that they lack control over the learning process, and worry that their child may be falling behind its contemporaries. Parents should avoid regarding teaching their child to read as merely a technical process, and should try not to focus too much on ensuring that the child can read every word correctly. It is best to take a wider view, taking time to talk about the story and the pictures. It is better to help a child who is struggling, as this prevents the child feeling negative about reading.

Nothing is such fun as boredom
Article Abstract:
It seems to have become unacceptable in modern society in the UK that children feel bored. In fact, boredom can be positive if it is used in a proactive way. It can prompt children to devise their own entertainment, shifting them away from expecting adults to constantly provide their entertainment. Being allowed to do very little at all, simply passing the time with small, apparently meaningless activities, can actually be very beneficial for children.

Religions dig in against erosion of morality
Article Abstract:
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr George Carey believes that morality cannot last unless it is founded in religion. Deacon June Osborne of east London thinks the moral environment is disintegrating. Government policies in the 1980s did not support poor families and encouraged selfishness. Many people try the New Age movement in preference to religion. Religious communities should teach core moral values such as faithfulness and responsibility.
