Before indulging into
the chains and clasps of the fine trends of jewelry, one thing to always have
in mind is evolution. Trends evolve with time, but there are those which are
meant to last and become classics. Unlike the fashion catwalk, where trends do not
seem to last, fine jewelry does not change significantly from one season to the
other. The cost associated with the raw materials for producing fine jewelry
alone makes it difficult or impractical to alter the trends every few weeks to
keep up with fashion. So, if you are looking for the latest gemstone jewellery
trends this year, here is what you need to know.

The final two years of secondary school, known as
Sixth Form, are very important for teenagers. Sixth Form is a time for students
to make serious decisions about how they want to progress with their higher
education, and consequently their career. The
Dixie Grammar School has the following advice for parents of teenagers who
are transitioning into Sixth Form.
First and foremost your child will need to decide
which subjects they would like to study. They will need to identify which are
their strongest and which are their favourite. You can help them by researching
what a levels lead to certain careers and what a levels are required for
certain university courses. If your teen seems quite anxious about the
decisions and the uncertainty, you can help by learning as much information as
possible with them, so that you all know as much as you can and feel a little
more in control of the situation.

Play is hugely important for the development of our
children because it promotes their cognitive, physical, social and emotional
well-being. In fact, it’s one of the
biggest ways they learn and develop. What’s more, playtime is a great
opportunity for parents to bond and engage with their little ones. I have
teamed up with a nursery and prep
school in Somerset to explore the benefits of play time in more detail.
When our children are young, it’s important that
learning is fun for them. It should involve experimentation and exploration. Each
child is unique; they grow and develop in their own way and at their own speed.
With that in mind, you should never compare your own child to another but
instead, help them explore different types of play.
Physical play, like ball games or dance, helps them
develop their strength, coordination, and flexibility. Alternatively, doing a
jigsaw or playing with building blocks will help your child identify shapes and
develop logic. Dressing up or playing with dolls allows children to develop their
imagination as they create and explore new worlds.
Generally speaking, play allows children to learn
useful skills that they can carry with them throughout all aspects of their
lives, including independence, curiosity, resilience, confidence and so on. As
a parent, it’s your job to encourage your child to play and explore different environments, both inside and outside.
