BRISTOL, ENGLAND, July 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Keeping a growing and inquisitive toddler occupied can be an exhausting task. They often seem to have an abundance of energy and it's easy to run out of ideas for playtime games. This was the inspiration behind Cow & Gate's Playtime Planner: it's an online tool that offers suggestions for a wide range of toddler activities, both indoors and out.
Over 100,000 mums have used the Playtime Planner since its launch in September 2011. Mums can narrow their playtime search by entering their toddler's age, how long they want the activity to last or where they're playing (indoors/outdoors). Alternatively, mums can browse the whole range of activities and choose from one of the several on offer. Each activity is designed to make a toddler more aware of the surrounding world and to encourage learning through play.
To date, one of the most popular activities is Mirror Mirror: a simple game that involves pointing out a toddler's reflection, which helps to raise awareness of themselves as well as those around them. Other popular games include, Play Tent (creating an undercover space to play in), Look Over There (a way of pointing out interesting things) and Treasure Basket (a good test for a toddler's fine motor skills). What connects the top activities is that they all encourage learning and development, whether it's through fine motor skills or brain activity. Cow & Gate know mums love watching that little person emerge!
As well as providing suggestions for games and activities, Cow & Gate is also giving mums the chance to submit their own activities for toddlers. So far, hundreds of entries have been received and if one is chosen to be used on the site, then the author is rewarded with play equipment vouchers.
Cow & Gate aim to support toddlers amazing development. For parents, it's a time of amazing development during which their toddler will need the right nutrition, which is why Cow & Gate has developed Growing Up milk. It's specially tailored to meet a toddler's growing nutritional needs as they develop and find new ways of moving and playing.
Cow & Gate has been helping mums feed their babies and toddlers for over 100 years, and has gained a level of knowledge and expertise they are proud to share. Their team of nutritionists are dedicated to research in infant nutrition, while a team of experts and baby care advisors are on hand to offer 24 hour advice and support to mums-to-be and mums.

Wrongful Death as a Result of Medical Malpractice
2012-07-27
Every year in the United States more than 225,000 people die from injuries resulting from medical malpractice. Wrongful death as a result of medical malpractice is a terrible and tragic occurrence, yet, according to a Harvard Medical Practice study, only one in eight of these cases ever results in legal action.

2012-07-27

Keep an Eye Out for Motorcycles This Summer
2012-07-27
Every year, as the weather warms, the roads of North Carolina are packed with summer travelers in cars, trucks, RVs and SUVs. There are also countless motorcycle riders taking to the streets each year. The temperate climate of the South means that motorcycle riders can get on the road sooner and remain on the road longer than in other parts of the country, putting them at greater risk of being involved in an accident with another motorist.
"Look Twice, Save a Life."
That cautious statement is the motto of the Concerned Bikers' Association, a motorcycle safety ...
