Enid Blyton books should be required reading for kids.
When I was growing up my earliest memory of reading is my Mum reading Enid Blyton’s Famous Five stories to me before bedtime. I must have only been 5 years old at the time but found the stories amazing!
For anyone who doesn’t know “The Famous Five” are a group of children who have the sort of adventures most kids dream about, in a world where ginger beer flows and ham rolls are a staple diet. Julian, Dick and Anne get together with their cousin George in the first adventure, Five On A Treasure Island.
George is actually a girl who wants so desperately to be a boy she crops her hair and struts about doing boy things. She hates it when people call her by her correct name, Georgina. She has a dog called Timmy—oh yes, and an island. Most kids just have a dog, but George’s parents own Kirrin Island and let her run around on it as if it were her play-thing. Her parents are known to Julian, Dick and Anne as Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny.
I think that these books are slowly being removed from society by the sands of time and I feel that they shouldn’t.
So if you have kids please check out Enid Bylton’s “The Famous Five”!

Making HouseWork Fun!
Recently I came across a post on a blog which detailed how kid’s often find fun in stuff that most adults find boring and have trialled it with some success!
Most parents try get their children into a daily routine for working and having fun together. (this also enables them to be subconsciously prepared for working life 
)
Most kids ages 3 and 7 are perfect to be big helpers although there is no age limit!! Even big kids like me can get in on the fun!
Stuff like folding their P.J.s, making breakfast and other morning chores can be done as group participation and gives children something to look forward to in the morning. It may be a bit more work for you but it will be worth it!
If you need to do some weeding and bush pruning get them involved. They’ll be excited to tell people about their accomplishments and share the stories of bugs, worms and bees they had encountered along the way.
Kids love to help and it enhances their sense of self-worth to be included in adult chores. The chore helper routine also keeps kids physically active and replaces sitting in front of the T.V. in the morning.
They are also learning skills they will need as adults and increasing their understanding of the world around them.
If you have any kids/chore stories please post a comment and say what your “chore story” is!
