ROAD SAFETY YEAR
In an attempt to reduce the number of
road accidents that occur throughout
Europe, 1986 has been designated
European Road Safety Year.
As the Royal Society for the Prevention
of accidents points out, more than
55,000 people die and a million and a
half are injured annually on European
roads.
Teaching road safety can't begin too
early. Reflective clothing, clean
lamps and safety belts are all
essential, as is proper awareness of
their use by adults and children.

YOUNG TRIVIA
What rivals even the telly in its power
to hold the attention? One answer is
that addictive game Trivial Pursuits ─
the game that tests your general
knowledge.
And now the youngsters have their own
version. Trivia for Kids has 1,800
different questions ranging from foot-
ball to history, pop stars to science.
It's all great fun and while it's
undoubtedly educational it's far from
being a game for the egg heads: often
guesswork can find the answer. It costs
£10.95 from leading toy shops.

SUGAR VERSUS SPICE
Providing a healthy diet for the family
is everyone's aim, but keeping up with
the latest information is complicated.
All experts agree that we should cut
down on sugar and since sweetness is an
acquired taste, fondness for sugar can
gradually be cut down.
It would be better to make sure
children don't ever develop the taste.
Use fruit to sweeten recipes, nuts and
fruit for snacks ─ that way you can set
an eating pattern and avoid later tooth
decay. more follows >

NO NAME SAFETY
How to protect children from the
attentions of strangers is something
that occupies every parent's mind but
there is one danger that may have
escaped your notice.
Calling a child by its own name is a
sure way to win its confidence and it's
a ruse that may be used by just those
you're most anxious to avoid. It isn't
wise to label your child's clothing,
lunchbox or satchel so that the name is
clearly visible.
Instead use a distinctive sticker or
just initials.
