A Bath & North East Somerset Council scheme to encourage more young people to cycle is proving an astounding success with the number of schools and participants increasing substantially since last year.

The Go By Bike project has resulted in 3,926 participations and 28 schools to take part in the scheme that compares to 3,200 and 20 schools the previous year.

Jean Welch, Deputy Head at Farrington Gurney Primary School, has welcomed Go By Bike and the work of Council Cycling Development Officer Jim Imeson. She said, “He has an excellent manner with the children and they are all excited when he comes to the school and he motivates them to do more with their bikes and scooters. Having his support has helped us achieve our Healthy Schools Plus award and our Director of Public Health School Certificate.”

Go By Bike has made proactive use of the Odd Down Cycling Circuit with some 1,048 participants across a range of ages taking part in sessions. Schools from Oldfield Park, Bath Community Academy, Margaret Coates Centre, Three Ways, Prior Park, Marksbury, Farmborough, St Philip’s and St Martin’s Garden have all taken part.

Enjoy story time at Paulton Community Hub

Amazing children Children from Jamie Woodland Black Belt Academy recently took part in a competition and returned to Radstock with a wealth of trophies. Well done to all who took part and congratulations to all winners.

Parents and guardians of pre-school children are invited to bring their little ones along to the Paulton Community Hub for a series of story time and craft sessions hosted by Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Library Service. The sessions will run on Thursdays (1.30-2.30pm) during term times, beginning on 19 September.

The story time and craft sessions will be led by local artist Michelle Cattanach who hosted a successful book craft event in August, based on the Council’s Recycle an Ex-Library Book competition. The children can enjoy listening to a story with their parents/guardians and then join in with drawing pictures or making their own creations out of craft materials based on the story they’ve just heard.

Councillor David Dixon (Lib-Dem, Oldfield), Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods, said: “The Paulton Community Hub is proving extremely popular since it opened in April – with more than 3,000 visits being made to it in July alone.

There are still opportunities to volunteer to help people use the library at the Paulton Hub. All that is required is a commitment to offer two hours every fortnight – full training is provided. For more information on volunteering please contact: June Brassington via email: june_ brassington@bathnes.gov.uk or telephone 01225 396424.

Shop locally this Christmas

28 November – 15 December 2013 “The biggest and most beautiful Christmas Market in the South West ”

bathchristmasmarket.co.uk

A rallying cry is being issued to shoppers to support local independent stores as this year’s Christmas shopping season gets under way.

The run-up to Christmas is a crucial time for traders, and people are being urged to think of our locally-run shops when looking for presents this year.

Our local High Streets have a wonderful mix of unique independent stores and to make sure this continues we need throw our support behind small independent traders to help them thrive.

Shopping locally helps to improve the local economy research suggests a pound spent with a local business stays in the local economy for five more transactions whereas a pound spend with a national business operating locally stays in the local economy for just two transactions.

These independent businesses help define our city and we hope this promotion encourages people to do more of their spending locally and introduces new customers to shops with a proud local tradition and heritage.

Take a fresh look at Bath Christmas Market!

Bath Christmas Market is set to add some festive sparkle to the centre of the city again this year, from 28th November – 15th December, and this year there are even more reasons to come.

With more than 150 stalls this year, each ran by a small business offering toys, jewellery, art, crafts food and home-ware there really is something for everyone. All of the chalets are allocated giving preference given to quality, handmade and locally sourced items – only the best will do for our customers! – and this year we have a third new traders, so you will find different gift ideas all over the site.

Don’t miss Bath Street, where you’ll find tiny, emerging local microbusinesses selling their products commercially for the first time, set in a pretty icicle-laden, snowy setting – you’ll also find a great competition there, with the chance to meet Santa in Lapland!

Bath’s is the only Christmas Market to have been awarded accreditation by Visit England as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction – so if you are considering where you’ll go to do your Christmas shopping, remember: England’s best Christmas Market is right on your doorstep. www.bathchristmasmarket.co.uk Facebook: Bath Christmas Market Twitter: @bathxmasmarket

Let’s buy Christmas presents from small local businesses and self-employed people from our neighbourhood who sell online or a local craftsperson who make jewellery, the amazing local florist or the local bakers who make homemade cakes, buns and chocolates. The people who run the café or salon, lets make sure our money goes to individual people and not multinational companies. This way more local people will have a better Christmas.

PAGES

How to reduce sibling rivalry It is thought that a gap of between two and four years will promote the worst sibling jealousy and that a gap of over five years will produce the least, but this is by no means always the case.

Do not despair; your child is not the devil’s spawn, just a normal child expressing his feelings in the only way he knows how. Young children are very self-focused and even if they will share with friends’ children on a visit, that is very far removed from having to “share” every day. There are ways you can help alleviate his fears.

Try to persuade family and friends to

make a fuss of your eldest child as they normally do before they make any fuss of the new baby. This is particularly important when a favourite relation of your child’s visits. Give your child big boy privileges that the baby cannot have and point this out to him. Try and make sure you give your older child special one-to-one attention when the baby is sleeping or being cared for by another adult. All these little things help to reassure your child that he or she is still important and loved even though the little alien has arrived. This often helps to

stem the jealousy and make the baby more acceptable. As baby grows let your child, if he wants to, help with everyday tasks like bath time, nappy changing and mealtimes but don’t force the issue. Some siblings will never be best friends due to individual personalities but the vast majority will grow up happily together despite the rocky start. And don’t listen to those who tell you that their children adored each other from day one because there is no child born who did not resent a brother or sister at some time.

Helping your child through bedwetting Most people can remember wetting the bed when they were a child.

Nocturnal enuresis, as it is technically known, is common in childhood. It can be occasional or persistent and can affect children of all ages, even those in their teens. As well as being a pain for the parent, the problem can be a huge cause of embarrassment for a child. The natural course of progression for parents is to encourage night-time dryness once a child has learned to stay dry during the day.

There are many reasons why children wet the bed for longer than normal.

According to research, bedwetting can be an inherited trait, especially if both parents used to wet the bed when they were young. If the problem persists well into early childhood, it would be wise to consider possible physical factors, such as slow bladder growth, diabetes, constipation, allergies, abnormal sleep patterns, physical abnormalities or deficiencies in urine inhibiting hormones during the night. Speak to your doctor if you are concerned.

As children get older they will become more aware that this is not the norm and may feel embarrassed and ashamed. It is down to the parents to stay positive and reassure the child it is not their fault and that the problem will resolve itself with time. Experts advise that any discussions about bedwetting should

always be as private as possible and away from any siblings. One solution is to involve the child in prevention methods. There are a number of disposable underwear products available as well as disposable mattress pads to choose from.

Ask if the child wishes to be woken in the night to pop to the toilet - you can offer them an alarm clock or bedwetting alarm device.

Involving them in the choice of prevention may help build a sense of grown-up independence as they are self-managing the problem. For some children a reward chart with incentives for several dry nights helps motivate staying dry. One good exercise is to encourage your child to wait as long as possible to urinate

during the day, which stretches the bladder and increases muscle strength. Discourage caffeinated foods like chocolate or colas as they stimulate the bladder. Also keep them well hydrated during the day so they don’t have a thirst in the evening.

Typically, children who wet the bed once a night will slowly progress to wetting fewer nights each week, with fluctuations back and forth, until they eventually outgrow the problem altogether. However, the entire process can take more than a year or two to fully resolve itself. Regardless of how you proceed, avoid putting pressure on your child and don’t dish out punishments, say experts. Staying dry all night is a developmental skill that all children achieve in time.

Parents need to protect their children online

danger through their online activities, parents across the UK are being urged to do more to keep their kids safe.

The government report found that as many as one in four children have put themselves in potential danger by secretly meeting strangers they have contacted online. This represents a three-fold increase on a similar study carried out two years ago. Parents are relying too heavily on their children doing as they are told to keep them safe online, according to new research from BroadbandChoices. co.uk. A staggering 84 per cent of parents polled across the UK said

that they rate verbal agreement with their children on safe internet usage as their number one means of monitoring online activity.

Social networking online is more popular than ever with children and teenagers. But with a recent government report revealing that children are putting themselves in

LET’S PARTY! One of the joys of having children is being able to create magic and fantasy for them, and seeing the sheer delight on their faces at the sight of something special.

Birthday Parties are a great chance to bring some of that magic to a child, or to a group of children, and although it can be hard work the results and memories for the child make it more than worthwhile. The range of choice for Birthday Parties these days is staggering, and like everything else, it is hard to please all the people all the time - even the little people! However, it is worth remembering that it is the children you want to impress, not their parents!

Whatever your budget, don’t lose sight of the reason for the party - enjoyment all round. Ask the little Birthday Person what sort of party they would like (within reason!) and who they want to invite - get some advice from teachers and playgroup leaders if you don’t know all your child’s friends.

Spend your money and your time wisely. If money is tight, make the things you can yourself and only spend on the things you can’t. Even if you have a reasonable budget you don’t need to go over-board - it is better to do a few things very well than try and do too much and end up in a muddle!

GOOD LUCK!

6 tips for parents When your child first heads off to school, it can be hard to let go. You remember your own teachers. What’s this one going to be like? And most importantly, how can you get the best out of your child’s teacher and ensure your child’s time at school is happy and fruitful.

1 Treat teachers as professionals

Teachers get a lot of criticism in the press, but the vast majority are very competent and dedicated. They have had many years of training and standards have improved in the last few years in both private and state sectors. Treat your teachers with respect and professionalism.

2 Be realistic

As parents, we have huge expectations for our children.

Having high expectations and wanting the best for your child is great, but it’s even better if you can remain realistic. When the teacher says your child is just about average, then he probably is. Yes, there are some late bloomers who don’t flourish until they are older. But as teachers, they usually get it right.

3 Acknowledge your feelings about school

When children first start school, parents are often surprised by the feelings that are aroused when they set foot on the school premises. Just remember to play the adult when visiting school. Be mindful of these old feelings, but don’t be hijacked by them.

Kindergarten at the Dovecote!

Now Open!

The Academy of Trinity ‘Kindergarten at the Dovecote.’

Opened Sept 2013 Please contact the school for an application pack.

4 Forgive mistakes

As we all know, working with children is not an exact science.

This means that, on occasions, teachers are going to get it wrong. When you’re dealing with your child’s teacher, try not to complain about every mistake she makes. If there is a serious problem or an ongoing situation, then make an appointment with the teacher and talk through the issues.

If there is still no change, ask the head teacher to become involved, but continue to be polite and positive during these meetings.

5 Be punctual

This might seem trivial, but there is nothing more annoying than parents who consistently bring their children in late.

Teachers are sympathetic to the odd bit of tardiness, but it is maddening to hear “Sorry I’m late” from the same parent every morning. Wake up earlier and get organised.

6 Offer to help out

Many schools like parents to get involved. If you can spare an hour or two a week to hear children read or help in an area of expertise, such as art or PE, then most teachers would be more than happy to see you. But equally, be realistic about how much time you can dedicate to the class.
