Description:
Welsh households have seen a spike in essential bills from April 1st.<br/><br/>Now Council tax rates vary, but as an example of a massive jump in bills residents in Pembrokeshire are facing an over 11% hike. Additionally, water bills are set to climb by 6%, impacting budgets across Wales. The average household water and sewerage bill in Wales will rise to £473 a year. <br/><br/>Most broadband deals and mobile phone contracts will rise by what consumer group Which? has described as a “completely unacceptable” on average up by 7.9 per cent. Separately, the annual cost of a TV licence will rise to £169.50 from 1 April, up from £159, which viewers need to pay to watch or record live TV shows on any channel, regardless of the device used. This includes watching anything via BBC iPlayer. <br/><br/>However, amidst these impending increases, Ofgem's reduction in the energy price cap offers some relief. The regulator is dropping its price cap by 12.3 per cent from the current £1,928 for a typical dual fuel household in Wales to £1,690, a decrease of £238 over the course of a year, or around £20 a month.

For over 10 years, the girls are raised to never leave the woods, avoid any and all interaction with outsiders, and ultimately rely on Lee as their only connection to the outside world.Lee has convinced the girls this is the key to survival in what is now an infectious and violent world. But when Imogen and Maeve discover an injured man in the nearby woods, Lee’s absolute control begins to disintegrate as their faith in her, and everything they’ve ever known, begins to unravel.")

_half-of-parents-lose-sleep-over-their-childs-development.webp "A new study has found parents are deeply concerned about their child’s academic and character development before they turn 5 years old. <br/><br/>The poll of 2,000 parents of children ages five and younger found 59% are concerned about their children’s academic and character development, citing concerns about whether their children will learn to play fairly and cooperate with others (50%), communicate well with others (49%) and be able to appropriately express themselves (47%).<br/><br/>Parents listed several challenges they face to support their children’s development, including creating a routine (38%), teaching positive behaviors (30%), planning activities (25%), providing a consistent environment (23%) and building early literacy and math skills (23%).<br/><br/>Commissioned by Primrose Schools and conducted by OnePoll, the study revealed a large majority (98%) of parents understand the importance the first five years of life play in a child’s development and future successes. <br/><br/>According to results, parents shared the earliest ages they believed their children could learn important skills and concepts. <br/><br/>For example, some parents believe their children should be able to interact with peers, learn language skills and learn social skills by age two. <br/><br/>By age three, parents believe their children should be able to start benefitting from formal learning activities and grasp academic concepts. Over half of parents surveyed (55%) said their concerns about their children’s development are worrisome enough to keep them up at night.<br/><br/>“In the first five years of a child’s life, parents have an opportunity to maximize the power and potential of this critical time,” said Dr. Amy Jackson, chief early learning strategy officer at Primrose Schools. “It’s clear that parents want their children to learn these important academic and character development skills while their brains are most receptive to learning, but we know many worry about finding the right approach.” <br/><br/>When it comes to support systems for parents, 82% of parents consider preschools to be a part of their support systems — alongside immediate family (88%), extended family (37%) and friends (33%).<br/><br/>When looking at preschools, parents said they look for a place that offers a safe place where their child can feel like they belong (28%), qualified teachers invested in their child’s development (24%) and kindergarten readiness (15%). <br/><br/>When parents are not consulting their support system, 73% will at least occasionally consult the internet for parenting advice, instead. However, 43% said they feel “overwhelmed” by what they find online. <br/><br/>“Support systems are important for new parents, especially during their child’s first five years of life,” continued Dr. Jackson. “The experiences and connections children have in these early years will shape their academic, physical and social-emotional development — ultimately forming their foundation for learning and who they become.”")
