(Photograph) - Children at the Frances Wright Pre-School Centre in Dundee enjoy a varied outdoor environment thanks to five murals painted by volunteers from Dundee College depicting a forest, a farm, a beach, a town and a bus. Head teacher Lesley Hutt said, 'I wanted to encourage the children to play imaginatively, so I decided to have places they could go, as well as a bus to get them there. We also have props for each scene.' Photo Paul Reid

Children are being served up too many calories

Children are being served up too many calories and excessive fat and not enough of the necessary fibre content and essential vitamins in children's meals on the menu at restaurants, cafes and leisure centres, according to a survey for the Food Commission. All the 141 meals that were analysed failed to meet at least one of the Caroline Walker Trust's nutritional guidelines for school meals. The meals analysed at the Harvester chain, Adventure Kingdom and home superstore IKEA were too high in calories. The 'Rib Ticklers' offered at Harvester contained more than twice the recommended number of calories and four times the recommended levels of fat. Even at London's Science Museum, all the children's meals on offer contained too much saturated fat. The research findings have been submitted to the Food Standards Agency in response to its children's food promotion consultation and to the Department of Health for its 'Choosing Health' consultation.

The birth of a new baby in the family calls for adjustments by the children, parents and nanny, says Jennie Lindon As a nanny you may be part of a family throughout the time that a new baby is expected, and then arrives to change the shape of this family for everyone. Or you may be involved at different stages of the transition time, as the mother takes leave from work. How you will tune into the needs of the parents, the other children and the new baby depends on whether you are with the family from the outset or you join at some point in the process.

Shape and the first hundred nouns

Reports evidence from a study in which children's attention to shape in a task of artificial noun learning was correlated with a rate shift in noun acquisitions. Eight children (median age 17 months) were tested at three-week intervals, beginning when they had less than 25 nouns in their productive vocabulary. The results indicate that as children learned nouns, they also learned to attend to shape in the novel word task. Children also showed an acceleration in new noun production outside of the task. * Gershkoff-Stowe, L and Smith, L B, Child Development 75 (4): 1098-1114, July 2004.
