Play and activities

Dear parents,

I cycle regularly with my son. And it means so much to both of us.
I am very motivated to see more parents doing the same.
So I wrote a guest blog post to help others get started.

Please check it out.
Any feedback and ideas to make the article better would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello! 

Do you live in London and have any children of 11 years and under? I need to know your point of view! 

I'm a Londom Design Masters student and am looking to gather data about parental priorities and preferences regarding taking your children to the woods. 

The aim of my project is to develop a product or service that can encourage parents living in urban areas to take their children to woodlands. 

If you can spare 5 minutes, please can you fill in my online survey? 
[www.surveymonkey.co.uk] 

All responses will be kept confidential and used for academic purposes only. Your help will be really valuable! 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. 

Thank you!

Hey. How about gymnastics for kids? My girl had some issues after the divorce and one day she saw some gymnastic competition, one girl was dressed in that nice leotards for gymnastics and she wanted to have one. I took her to our local gym and consulted with a trainer. He was thrilled to help a kid this way. What activities are you guys getting your kids into when having hard times?

The thing about social networks is, yeah, you can see what your child is posting, but there's no way for you to know what they've been viewing or exposed to. Instagram, for example, has a lot of content that kids under 14 shouldn't be looking at. I think 14 or 15 is an ok age for kids to start on using social networks..

I think a 6-year old will get bored:)) My son could barely sit through a movie in the cinema when we went to see Shrek  I can't imagine that a kid could keep up with all the dancing and the music on the scene. She will either fall asleep or will be very very bored)

I like Lloyd Cafe in the Lloyd Park! Go for a walk and see for yourself that location is just amazing.

Do you have a pinterest account? I am following a cool board there - http://www.pinterest.com/triciagoyer/awesome-fun-fantastic-activities-for-kids/
We've tried a lot of the things on that list, and we had a LOT of fun. You'll have to browse, but you'll find something for you.

Hi there. Can anyone recommend a kids party venue near Bounds Green, N22 ?

What are your plans for this Easter? 

Just wanted to share the emotions. The performance is the best! Absolutely marvelous! The actors, the setting, the music! Everything was just perfect. Highly recommend. Both my 6yo and 8yo loved it.

Just that really. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 

Have you already been there this year? We went last week and loved it there, the DCs were breath-taken! Magical place, exactly what we need to get into that holiday spirit

I'm just curious what is an average price for a swimming lesson for a 3 yo in London these days? With a group or individually 

Hello there, we are considering a martial arts club for our DS but we are not quite sure which art would be the best for him. We would like it to be not too violent (he's 6 after all). Oh, and it has to be in Camden. Can anyone recommend anything? 

Has anyone tried these? I'm planning a family day out, so I'm looking into interesting things to do with the whole family (me, DH, a 5y/o and a 11m/o)

What is better for a 3 yo girl - balance bike, gyrobike or a bike with stabilizers? Isn't it too late for a balance bike? We were thinking balance bike is what we need for her but I'd like to get more info on gyrobikes if there is anyone here who has experience with them. Thx! 

We are thinking about holding a birthday party for our 2 y/o, has anyone tried them? Would you recommend this venue? 

I'm looking for ideas/recommendations for where to hold my LO's birthday party. We are on a budget so preferably something not too expensive. All ideas welcome!

I am looking for some sports group for my DD, she is nearly 3. Can anyone recommend something? We were thinking about dance classes or maybe boxing... 

With this weather I'm not sure what to plan for the family Easter. Normally we would go to Kew gardens but now I don't know... What are you planning?
