Is your child experiencing night time wetting?

Bedwetting is very common in childhood, affecting around 1 in 15 seven-year-olds and 1 in 75 teenagers. Most importantly, it's nobody's fault.

You don't need to wait for your child to outgrow it. Effective treatments are available from the age of five, and there are lots of ways to support your child.

Growing Brains Need Good Nutrition 🍎

A healthy, balanced diet supports both physical growth and brain development.
Simple habits such as offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water and eating regular meals can help children get the nutrients they need as they grow.

Healthy bodies and healthy brains go hand in hand. 💜

Mae angen maeth 🍎 da ar ymennydd sy'n tyfu

Mae diet iach, cytbwys yn cefnogi twf corfforol a datblygiad yr ymennydd.

Gall arferion syml fel cynnig amrywiaeth o ffrwythau a llysiau, yfed digon o ddŵr a bwyta prydau rheolaidd helpu plant i gael y maetholion sydd eu hangen arnynt wrth iddynt dyfu.

Mae cyrff iach ac ymennydd iach yn mynd law yn llaw. 💜

💙 I can highly recommend this workshop. I’ve personally attended one of these sessions and found it really interesting and helpful.

One of the things I found most valuable was realising that you're not alone. Hearing from other parents and carers who face similar challenges can be incredibly reassuring, as well as providing practical tips and strategies to help make mornings a little easier.

If school mornings can be a struggle in your household, this free webinar may be worth a look. 👇

🏃 National Fitness Day 2026

🌟 Get Moving, Get Playing, Get Growing! 🌟

Today is National Fitness Day, a chance to celebrate the importance of being active and having fun!

For young children, physical activity isn't just about exercise. Active play helps to build:

✅ Strong muscles and bones
✅ Balance and coordination
✅ Confidence and independence
✅ Communication and social skills
✅ Healthy habits for life

Whether it's jumping in puddles, dancing to favourite songs, riding a bike, visiting the park or playing chase, every movement helps children learn and grow.
