One of the proudest and priceless moments in parenting is to have children who excel in their academic performance. Education is by far the most precious intangible heritage a parent can give to their children. Good education can bring good life as it help inculcate good virtues, proper reasoning, good judgment, as well as accumulated knowledge wherein one’s potential can be used to a maximum extent.   Education is one of the crucial factors which formulate the persona of a person. Giving rewards for academic achievements in my opinion is just one of the ways in showing appreciation to our kid’s hard work in achieving academic excellence. In my experience in parenting two academic achievers, giving gifts motivates them more to study harder. As I keep on telling them if they will continue to concentrate and give importance to their studies it will definitely benefit them in the future.

Most people with any experience of London will happily testify that you really cannot see all that’s on offer in a single day…and boy, are they right! In fact, spend a week, fortnight or month in London and chances are you won’t even scratch the surface. Heck, you’d be lucky even to get round the museums you’re interested in over the course of a week or two, let alone the landmarks, galleries, parks, eateries and so on and so forth. However, this doesn’t for one second mean that a daytrip to London is pointless, as some have taken it upon themselves to claim. Quite the opposite in fact as with so much on offer spanning the most enormous area of England, one day is more than enough to pack in enough sights, sounds, smells and sensations to bring home a thousand and one memories. Take the following route as an example and see why 12 hours in London pack in as much as a dozen bog-standard  short breaks to Cornwall  : Belsize Park/Camden Town photo credits: greene.co.uk

Travelling in the UK can be an expensive affair. What with steadily rising public transport fares, few people can afford to travel without planning in advance. However, there are great discounts available, if you know where to look and how to go about claiming them. What once may have seemed a gruelling way of getting from A to B where long distance journeys are concerned, for many people, travelling by coach is now the only solution. The UK has some fantastic early bird discounts on a number of intercity coach companies which give away tickets starting from 1 pound if you book a few weeks in advance. There are also options for getting up to a third off ticket prices for students, frequent travellers or OAPs.  Some may argue that trains in the UK have become a rich man's game. With soaring prices, going long distance by rail can be considered somewhat luxurious these days. However, the rail network continues to be better connected than the coaches with tra
