Do you get tired of an older generation telling you that you've had a soft life, or that you don't know how easy you've got it? You might be ready to agree with them after reading the wartime experiences of nanny Wendy Roughan as she describes them in this issue. Protecting children while in danger from enemy fire is something not many nannies have to do these days. But then, her luxurious lifestyle among an entourage of other servants seems just as rare. It all adds up to an exciting story in any case. Ordinary life presents us with enough challenges, and usually the best we can do is be prepared for them and try to keep a cool head. How well can you read the state of a child's health, or deliver first aid? The special quiz and the advice on travelling with children in this issue may reveal some gaps in your knowledge that need filling, and our news pages hopefully point to ways you can be better informed- then, with greater confidence, you can relax and enjoy the summer holidays!
