The Bee’s Knees Childcare Solutions TOP TIPS...

We’ve experienced some extraordinary heat waves this year, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees! Below are some tips to keep your children safe around water. • Have conversations with your child about not going to the water’s edge without an adult. • Teach your child to enter and exit the swimming pool safely, if possible, without the use of the steps. • When falling into the water or becoming unexpectedly overwhelmed, the temperature of the water can have a surprising and life-threatening impact. Teaching children how to stay afloat is lifesaving! Learn more about staying safe around water via the Royal Lifesaving Society’s website.

Families Baby News All babies to get two surnames in Italy

The Italian Constitutional Court has ruled that all babies should automatically get two surnames: one from each parent. The decision overturns a long-held tradition in which babies only received a surname from their father.

From now on, babies will receive both parent’s last names - and parents can decide which order they go in. Parents can also decide together if the baby will only take one surname (and which one it will be).

In the past, it was difficult to give a child a mother’s surname unless the father was unwilling to give their name to the baby or unless the father was unknown. A mother could not independently choose to give her last name to her baby.

The Court which is similar to the UK’s Supreme Court, ruled the one surname practice as ‘discriminatory and harmful to the identity’ of the child.
