almost 100 years later, her vision for young children’s learning
through play is being realised across the UK, due to a new emphasis in
the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Early years practitioners
now recognise that play is a young child’s mechanism for learning and

 Some
new mothers bond with their babies easily. Others find the process
much more difficult. Baby Bonding advocate, Monic Joint, reveals it’s
never too late to start forming a life-long connection with your
child.I have never forgotten speaking to a mum who had a terrible
bonding
experience with her first child. Due to complications after delivery,
she was separated from her newborn daughter to have surgery and - 16
years later - still felt she had been unable to complete a connection
with her teenager. It reminded me that while some parents find bonding

 Never again need weary mummies shrug their shoulders and look to the
sky in despair when after nappy-changing, winding and feeding their
newborn, it is still crying. Want to know exactly what baby is saying to you?You won’t believe this.....If you read no other piece of advice as a new mother - read this. A new system of understanding precisely what a newborn baby is ‘saying’
has been developed and is transforming the lives of millions of
sleep-deprived mummies and daddies the world over. The Dunstan Baby Language is simple - and by almost every account, works.

 Finding yourself cooing over tiny sleep suits? Joanne Robinson, mother of a five year old, four year old and seven week old baby Angus, realises that her ‘newborn memories’ could have been slightly rose-tinted. Photography by Holly Dawson. If you are already a mum, do you remember the first few weeks after
your baby arrived in the world? Are those memories fresh and raw or
have they been tinged by a few years of amnesia? I thought my memories
of caring for a newborn were still vividly real. I have, in fact,
whiled away many happy hours imparting my hard-earned nuggets of
child-rearing wisdom to pregnant friends eagerly awaiting the birth of
their firstborns.

 For a while there in the 1980s, us women really thought we could have
it all. Wearing our big-shouldered power suits, we strode back to work
three minutes after giving birth, re-took our seats in our huge leather
office chairs and carried on with our lives. But is that really what
was happening?Are women actually enjoying sexual equality?Claire Bates
reports. Here’s a sobering thought: It would take a snail only slightly longer
to crawl the length of the Great Wall Of China than it would for there
to be equal representation of women to men in Parliament. And just for
the record - how long do you think

 It seems like our feature about taking babies and toddlers out for a
day cycling in the New Forest really inspired many of you to get on your bikes again! So many of you wrote in to enquire about what kit was
needed to set you off on cycling adventures of your own and where it could be found locally that we felt compelled to find out for you.We weren’t surprised by this enthusiasm. Basking in the golden glow of
so many Olympic medals, cycling had never been more fashionable than now. It is great exercise and allows young families to explore the beautiful countryside of Hampshire and Surrey safely and pollution-free. And of course, it is a

 Baby Hampshire talks to Simon Taylor from Winchester, dad to Ella 9 months, to find out about his pregnancy and birth experience. The thought of fatherhood never really entered my mind. In fact, looking back, society was actively persuading me to question whether parenthood had any value at all. But while I didn’t seek fatherhood out, it found me.I had been with my beautiful girlfriend for four years when she
whispered in my ear, while enjoying the last of the summer evening and
our bottle of red, that I was going to be a dad.
