Animals used to be an essential part of the life of the average person until recently. But with the advent of the industrial revolution, and the move from country to city living, the role of animals diminished. Yes, we still keep pets, but that’s about it. For children, animals can remain a mystery until they are a lot older. So what do parents need to teach their children now about farm animals before they hit school?

Although I am looking forward to winter fashion, burning candles and lots of blankets, as a single person (and parent) I find I worry more about my safety during the winter months. From catching colds, icy conditions and the fact it’s dark outside from 4pm,…
