[New] Welcome

Happy New Year from all of us here at Families! We wish you the very best for the months ahead.

If you’ve abandoned New Year resolutions already, then let Families re-inspire you! This really is a great time of year to focus on how to get healthier – but it’s difficult to do it on your own. So how about taking on a health challenge as a family instead so you can motivate each other? Whether it’s a new challenge, adopting strategies to alleviate anxiety, trying a new life hack or finding out why it’s healthy for kids to get muddy, this issue offers you lots of food for thought.

And, as the kids head back to school or nursery for the new term, we also have great articles on dealing with separation anxiety, a common issue faced by parents of children in the early years, as well as a focus on education including an update on SATS, advice on getting the best from an online tutor and how logical thinking can help children achieve their goals.

Finally, in this issue, we have Britannica Magazine subscriptions to giveaway! Apply for six month subscriptions plus a Britannica All New Children’s Encyclopaedia inside. By doing so, you’ll also ensure you receive our digital magazine with lots more content and goodies on offer.
