Flint Street Nativity (Growing Up Is Childsplay) (DVD)

Advantages: Sensible, no nonsense approach to the facts of life
Disadvantages: None

...A dilemma for most parents is if, when, who by and how their children should be introduced to the "facts of life". For some it may be easier to allow their child to learn about "the birds and bees" at school, but there seems to be a bit of a postcode lottery as to how much your child will learn, and besides there is still the probability that there will be something that your child didn't understand. For these reasons it's best to be prepared for the day when you need to talk to your son/daughter about such things as periods, babies and yes, sex. For my eldest daughter this time came very recently when she decided she wanted to know a bit more about "growing up", and luckily I was already prepared with this book, "Usborne Understanding The Facts Of Life", which is actually two books in one, the first covering growing up while...

...With the new - ish addition to the clan, I've happened upon Hipp Baby Food products, one of them being 'Growing Up Meals'. ~ The Company ~ This is a very brief summary of the history of the company: A German called Joseph Hipp produced the first instant food for babies in 1899 spurred on by the birth of his twin babies.

Advantages: good dancing, easy to watch
Disadvantages: -

...the main character, I thought she was a likeable and relatable character as you could tell she wanted to dance but didn't want to go to Texas. She was quite a strong character and Briana did well in the role as I don't think she has acted in much before. Robert Hoffman was also good in his role as the main male actor in the film, he's a good dancer and also was meant to be unlikeable at first but I couldn't help but also grow to like his character and he played this role well I thought. The film has many really good dance scenes and a lot of unique characters in it which also makes it really likeable. It has a character who doesn't get everything easily and is ambitious and I suppose in a way it has quite a strong message in it by saying that just because some things don't work out doesn't mean you should give up on everything. I like how we... Read review
