Halifax’s annual pocket money survey has revealed that kids in UK are getting rather adroit than their adult counterparts when it comes to saving money. Particularly boys, who are showing an increased bent towards managing their savings in the best possible manner than the girls.

Mike Regnier, head of savings at Halifax, said “It is great to see that children have a positive attitude towards saving and are starting to get into the savings habit at a very young age.”

Going by the figures, 64 per cent of boys save more money than they spend, compared with 52 per cent of girls.

It is indeed worth appreciating that the efforts of inculcating the habit of saving on the part of parents are finally showing its effects.
But, this is just half the battle won, the next step should be to tell the kids to put the savings to the best of use rather than spending it either on expensive toys or going for parties. Rather, they should be encouraged to invest the savings in a proper channel and bring gains out of it.

Your little one has some infection in his ear if:

1. He displays some kind of unusual irritability.
2. It is difficult for you to put him to sleep because of the pain.
3. Repeatedly tugs and pulls at one or both the ears.
4. Has mild fever as well.
5. You can see some fluid draining out of his ear.

Now single women and lesbians can get IVF under Government plans rejecting the prerequisite for doctors to consider a child’s ‘need for a father’.

Presently doctors can only give fertility treatment if they believe their patient has taken into account a child’s need for a father figure.

However, the ministers are likely to drop the case, as it would entail them up to allegations of unfair discrimination. In addition, ethical activists termed it as ‘gender correctness at its most ridiculous’.

The 1990 Human Fertilization and Embryology Act sets out current rules on research and treatment using human embryos. And ministers want to reform the act by introducing recent scientific advances. On 9th of December, it surfaced that, the ‘need for a father’ was part of the old Act, moreover, ministers are set to back embryo screening to weed out genetic defects or to create a ’savor sibling’ for a sick child.

However, families won’t be allowed to choose the gender of their baby.

There are chances that it would certainly also bring controversial internet sperm suppliers under regulation for the first time.

As it is, the work has created some sparks from ethical campaigners also the government is saying that the donor fathers would be informed when the offspring take up a right to access about their information.

Some clinics will now provide IVF to single women and lesbians as long as they are happy the women have considered the child’s need to have a male role model in its life.

However many others refuse to treat women who have no male partner because of the child’s ‘need for a father.’

Mom Heidi Klum’s reaction to her having three kids in past three years shows that the lady is pretty happy and has no regrets about the fact. It was with the birth of third kid Johan, Last month that she said “Everyone had the biggest smiles on their faces once Johan arrived.”

Heidi already has a two-year-old daughter Leni and 15-month-old son Henry who are pretty happy after having a bro junior.

As far as dad Seal is concerned, he has a different reason to feel happy…he had always wanted a home filled with children’s laughter and “We love that they will grow up close in age. Now, is this indeed a reason to be happy or just a condolence that the father is offering himself?

A Sydney pub has initiated a children’s crèche so that parents could enjoy a meal and even some liquor without interruption.

Meanwhile, children may indulge in making crafts or having ice cream.

A condition attached to the service is that parents must remain inside the grounds with their mobile phones switched on while employees look after their youngsters from a local childcare provider.

Well, what I’m concerned about is parents drinking more than one and driving home a little tipsy with the kids in the car. Hmm… what you hafta say about it?

The rate of pre-term birth is facing an exceptional hike throughout the world and it is also posing as the leading cause of mortality in the first month and year of life. In the light of the above mentioned revelation, it becomes extremely important to chart-out a plan to avoid pre-term births. Though it is impossible to root out the possibility completely, a recent study conducted by a Kingston-led research team showed that giving nitroglycerin to women who go into premature labour helps their babies’ health.

Exposing the pregnant women who go into labor as early as 24-28th week of pregnancy, a jab of this heart drug can indeed improve upon the chances of baby’s survival and well being.
