Why you need a Will!Writing a Will is essential, however few people get around to doing it. In fact, over 75% of adults in the UK die without a Will.
A Will is often thought of as just the place where one distributes ones assets after death, but a Will also has a very important role to play, particularly for all parents with young children and especially for those who are not married.
Your Will is the appropriate place to appoint Guardians for your children in the event of both parents dying. If this is not done it may be down to the Courts to decide who your children will live with. It is also the place to ensure the financial needs of both your children and the appointed Guardians. Trust Funds can be set up in your Will and used for the benefit of your children. In your Will you also name the Trustees who are going to administer these funds.
Shortland and Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on 020 8397 5176 or email [email protected]
A special discount is available to readers of The Family Grapevine. If you mention this article when making your appointment we will write your Will for the special price of just £120 each or £140 for a pair.

National charity STEPS is launching its Baby Hip Health Week 23 – 28 February 2009
Aimed at raising awareness with all new parents regarding possible hip problems, the charity is suggesting that people ‘Put the Kettle On’ for STEPS whereby they hold a tea/coffee morning at home or work, and distribute leaflets on Baby Hip Health week, whilst raising funds at the same time.
‘Many babies are born with unstable or immature hips’ said STEPS director Sue Banton. ‘Most will grow out of this and develop normal hips, but some will develop Hip Dysplasia (DDH) which needs treatment’.
Even if the hips appear to be OK it is important to be aware of signs that might mean there is a problem. Research published in 1998 showed that parents and carers often notice the signs that the hip is not developing properly, but find it hard to get the condition diagnosed.
Amongst the signs parents should look out for include one leg appearing shorter than the other, an extra deep crease on the inside of the thigh, crawling with one leg dragging or walking with a limp or a waddle. Whilst these signs are not conclusive, they may indicate the need for further investigation.
If a hip problem is suspected it is important that it is confirmed with an ultrasound examination or x-ray so that treatment can begin as soon as possible. Chloe was diagnosed at 3½ years old, her mother says,“I was told there was nothing wrong with Chloe’s hips even through she had different leg lengths, but call it mother’s instinct I persisted and finally the condition was diagnosed.”
“If you are at all concerned, you should seek advice from your GP or Health Visitor;” Sue Banton added, “since treatment is usually less complex the earlier it is started.”
Anyone wishing to get further advice or can help to distribute leaflets should contact the STEPS helpline on 0871 717 0044 or go to www.steps-charity.org.uk
Haven for Special Needs in RipleyAs a Paediatric Occupational Therapist Marguerite Durham was concerned about the continuingly growing NHS waiting lists, for children with special needs to receive Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech Therapy.

They also offer, Homeopathy as well as Co-ordination groups, Yoga Sense and ‘Touch Type Read and Spell’. The groups help children increase in confidence and self-esteem, as well as more specific targeting of areas of difficulty.

Pregnancy, Antenatal & Postnatal Exercise
Please mention The Family Grapevine to advertisers and friends
Relax with Maternity ReflexologyMaternity Reflexology is ideal for pre-conception, pregnancy, labour and during the post-natal period. During pregnancy your body goes through significant changes which can affect the emotional, hormonal and physiological balance of your body. Not only does reflexology benefit both mother and baby, is very pleasant to receive, induces a deep relaxation so your body can adjust more smoothly to the major changes required at this time.
Treatments help alleviate or prevent the many discomforts and ailments commonly associated with pregnancy by reducing the effects of stress and modern day pressures on mother and baby. It improves vitality, circulation, breathing, digestion and sleep, and helps normalise blood pressure.
Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can shorten the duration of labour, with many women requiring less pain-relief.

Yoga during Pregnany
Pregnancy is a wonderful time to practise yoga. It helps keep the body supple without straining. Yoga breathing helps you to relax, improves circulation and will help you relieve the pain of labour in childbirth.
Yoga brings a sense of well-being as well as physical fitness. It helps you to relax and focus; by practicing yoga you can tune in to the changes in your body as your baby grows inside you. Many of the common discomforts that might arise during pregnancy may be eased by the yoga.
Regular attendance at the classes will help you to develop confidence in your body’s ability to give birth. As well as yoga, you will practice positions and movements, visualisation and breathing techniques to help you to stay calm and focused during labour.
Safe Treatments for Baby & Mum-2-BeNicholas J Oram qualified in 1994 with a BSc in Chiropractic and is the owner of Sunbury Chiropractic Centre. He also works alongside Drs Christine Gardiner and Mumuksh Patel at the Glebe Street G.P. Surgery in Chiswick.
Chiropractic and cranial treatment is a very gentle and safe treatment which can be given to pregnant Mums up to the day of delivery for conditions e.g. back ache, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), sacroiliac instability, sciatica and acid reflux. Treatment for a new born from as young as a day old involves gentle massage and muscular releases together with cranial work so gentle that when babies arrive asleep, they often don’t wake up during the treatment. Some of the conditions treated are colic, constipation, reflux, sleeping / feeding difficulties and general grizzliness or unexplained crying. Most of these conditions can be helped quickly and successfully by chiropractic without needing to take medication at such a tender age.

HYPNO-BIRTHING
Who says childbirth has to be feared?Hypnobirthing takes the fear out of the birthing process. When the fear is taken away your anxiety about the birth will fade too, which in turns lowers your adrenaline levels so you are more relaxed and have an enjoyable birthing experience.
Your hypnotherapist will explain why there is fear surrounding childbirth then teach you breathing techniques, visualisation and guided imagery that will enable you to reach a deeply relaxed state that helps you and your baby to remain calm during labour and the birth.
So how do I know that Hypnobirthing works? I’ve had two of my three children using this method and would recommend it to anyone. It worked for me and I’m just an ordinary mum to three boys and Editor of The Family Grapevine!

Arnica – A Parent support group promoting Natural Immunity
When I was trying to survive my first baby’s torturous sleep routine, I had to make the most difficult decision I had ever had to make. I delayed taking my son for his first set of vaccines, but finally compromised at 6 months …
I have never vaccinated my children or dog since, and have discovered so much more which has made me believe that the risks of adverse reactions and ill health from the vaccines outweigh any complications from childhood diseases in a healthy child / animal.
When my daughter was born I was really feeling isolated so I started a group where we could support and inform each other about Natural Health and Vaccine issues. There are now 70 like-minded parents in the area who attended meetings. 20 months later, Kingston Arnica has been joined one-by-one by 20 other Arnica groups around the UK!
Please visit the website which lists the groups, for example Guildford, Farnham and Cobham may be close enough to you? Or perhaps you would like to start one yourself? Also the site has a great page on REDUCING THE RISKS OF ADVERSE REACTIONS which should be of interest if you are using vaccines for your children.
In just 6 months our Yahoo group has shared over 1000 messages about Natural Health and Vaccines. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arnicaparents.

www.NaturalBabyShower.co.uk is a natural place to shop for new & expectant Mums, babies and little ones. From organic clothing and baby essentials to nursery furniture and wooden toys, it boasts an impressive eco product range.
Based near Weybridge and mum to 2 young boys, Victoria Hampson, set up Natural Baby Shower in response to her own unexpected transformation during pregnancy. Being green had not always been a big priority for Victoria, but when she and her partner spent a year in New Zealand, and she found herself pregnant, things changed. “Natural products were already a much bigger part of the culture when I was in New Zealand” she recalls “And that is when I first really started to think about it. I realised I had to look after my body as it wasn’t just about me anymore. It’s a big deal when you become a mother. You want to do everything right and I, like many mums, had no idea about the potential dangers in a lot of products”
Back home in the UK Victoria was disappointed with the availability of organic baby products and so, alert to the needs and concerns of new mothers she set about her new venture. Much research and another baby later, she launched Natural Baby Shower. Based on-line it is accessible to all and with free fast delivery, it is cheaper and easier than going to the shops. It has hundreds of products, which have been handpicked for their eco credentials, style and quality, all of which would make ideal gifts for new mums and babies. As the name suggests, Victoria themed the site around Baby Showers, another tradition she took to heart in NZ; in addition to the shopping it offers comprehensive advice on how to go about holding a Baby Shower, plus there is a NEW BEGINNINGS section which is full of valuable parental information on subjects such as Flat Head Syndrome and the Real Nappy Debate.
Up and running since June ‘07 the business already has a loyal customer base & with numbers growing daily. Delivery and Gift wrapping are free and the customer service is personal & friendly. “There is always someone on hand to offer advice on washable nappies or any of our product range, so don’t be afraid to give us a call.” Visit www.Naturalbabyshower.co.uk or Tel: 08452722386.

Unique Playtime Nursery Opens in Shepperton
On the 1st of October, Mayor Simon Bhadye of Spelthorne Council officially opened a brand new nursery in Shepperton and said, “Children need a nursery like this because children are the future they need to assure the best start in life it begins in the early years. Once the seed is planted the branches grow to form a good strong tree. It is pleasing to see the love and care that is given to support not only the children but their families by providing flexible hours to suit their working needs, particularly during the current financial market”.
Playtime Nursery, owned by Victoria Robson, caters for children from 3 months to 5yrs and has a real focus on learning through play. It boasts a 3 story play structure enabling children to climb and slide on various apparatus, a dedicated baby unit, freshly prepared food onsite, plus a library and a computer area. For more information, please contact 01932 246747 or [email protected].

Halstead Prep School is Outstanding in Every WayAt Halstead we strive to create a warm and secure environment for our girls because we know that happy children make enthusiastic learners.
Girls can join our nursery in the term they are three and they enjoy learning through play in a setting described by Ofsted (June 2008) as outstanding in every area. Parents can choose between three and ten sessions a week and pre and after school care is also available.
As girls move through the school we strive to provide good academic foundations gaining many scholarships to highly selective senior schools. Our excellent facilities ensure pupils have many opportunities in art, sport, music and the performing arts. We also aim to build good self esteem and confidence and provide them with life skills so they are ready for the challenges at Senior School. Our recent ISI inspection is sprinkled with comments such as ‘high standards’ and ‘outstanding pastoral care’. A wide range of extra-curricular activities enrich the day and pre-and after school care is available. During the holidays we also offer Carer and Toddler sessions as well as a range of activities for the older pupils.
