* Bright Stars Pre-School in Plymouth had been on the site of the town's Prince Rock Primary School for about 15 years when by chance the supervisor Gina Reed heard in 2002 that the then headteacher had applied to have a local authority nursery on the site.

Hear, hear, Mr Lancaster. Some young children of four who do not wish to read and write and sit at a desk are being labelled as having special educational needs. Then suddenly, if they decide that they to want to read and write at age five, six or seven (if they have not been put off by then), they are proclaimed as not having special educational needs. Would somebody please tell education secretary Charles Clarke that it is the system that has the special needs, and not the children?

Conditioners do it

Why live with head lice when there is no need? I have successfully cleared head lice from my children's hair and have offered my advice to parents, with great success. All that is needed is time, effort, a lice comb and conditioner. Once lice are discovered, daily or every other day if pushed for time, you need to wet the child's hair, apply conditioner, thoroughly comb the hair section by section, then rinse off the conditioner. This removes live lice and a few eggs, and repeated over the next few days removes newly-hatched lice, breaking their cycle of hatching then laying. In my experience it takes two to three weeks to remove all lice - without a chemical in sight and no expensive outlay.

Families who are under stress and receiving support from social services find access to childcare particularly helpful, according to a study published by the Scottish Executive last week. Growing Support: A Review of Services for Vulnerable Families with Very Young Children is drawn from a survey of vulnerable families with children under three who had used social work services in different parts of Scotland. More than a third of the families had been the subject of child protection enquiries and more than a quarter had a history of domestic abuse. More than half the families were headed by a lone parent and almost one in five were affected by mental illness, usually that of a parent or partner, while a similar proportion had a history of drug dependency or alcohol abuse.

His friend sees this, appears to be upset by the situation and cries himself. After a while the second child lashes out at the first. Is this aggressive behaviour? Is it anti-social behaviour? Is the child a potential bully? Or is the child feeling the hurt of the first child and doing the only thing he can think of to end his friend's misery?
