The Parent Practice

image

We are bombarded with information about how to have a baby, what to do in pregnancy and the paraphernalia we need to buy for the new addition by well meaning friends and a bit of research. There are also many fantastic pre-natal courses but once the baby has arrived and we have overcome the usual breastfeeding hurdles and heeded advice on how to prevent the dog getting jealous, we are left to our own devices.  Where do we turn to if we need a few pointers on raising little Timmy? I have it on good authority from some experienced mothers, that The Parent Practice could be your answer.

They have been offering training for parents and helping to create a happier childhood and brighter future for children since 2004. Working face-to-face with parents every day through their parenting coaching, they understand the issues parents struggle with and know which solutions really work.

If you’d like to become the best parent you can be and see your children blossom, their flexible range of parental training courses, workshops and private consultations are the ideal way forward. You can learn with them individually (and have their full attention), or else in a supportive group. You can now also learn online in the privacy of your home, at times to suit you. They have courses and workshops running Nationwide.

I am particularly excited about the ‘Bringing Out The Best In Boys’ workshop.  After the weekend I have had, I need all the help I can get!

Giffords Circus: Nationwide

imageGiffords Circus is coming to town!   Giffords is a family-run vintage circus that each summer returns with a show for families and film stars alike. They experiment with the circus form, weaving theatre, opera, dance and puppetry into a 90 minute fun filled show. They are always idiosyncratic, beautifully designed creations featuring a live orchestra, clowns, acrobats, horses, handmade costumes and a much loved goose.  The show also includes animals, illusionists, Gypsy violinists, tap dancers, tight-rope walkers, trapeze artistes, stunt riders, opera singers, magicians, illusionists and gymnasts, so there is lots to keep the little ones engaged.

Giffords will be at Chiswick House for their London dates from 11th – 24th June.

You burn off some steam before the performance in their beautiful grounds, feeding the ducks and a play in the great little playground.

How much do the shows cost?

All shows are priced at adults £22, children £14, with the exception of Chiswick House & Gardens which are priced at adults £25, children £15…

Children under the age of 3 do not need a ticket but must sit on a lap.

How long is the show?

The show is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes (including a 15 minute interval). Arrive half an hour before show time as seating is unreserved.

Other than having the rather undesirable ‘Easyjet’ rush for seats together,  I am definitely going to give it a whirl – but I may buy an extra seat for the 2 year old!

Parsons Green Film Society

Parsons Green Film Society is a new society founded to create a space for independent cinema.

Jane Strang Steel and her business partner, Howard Goldstein are both passionate film fans with backgrounds in media, film and TV. They wanted to build a membership of fellow film lovers and a local place to find movies not readily available in mainstream cinemas – classics, documentaries, foreign language and independents. The community aspect of PGFS was really important to them, and their audience loves the social element of the film nights too. With a new baby, it was a local project that Jane could work around motherhood!
