Reading wise I've made a great start into my goal of reading 70 books this year. I've read five books this month two of which are fairly short reads and are non fiction where the remaining three are fiction.
The Little Book of Sleep by Dr Nerina Ramlakhan
I was disappointed with this read tbh. Some of the information was useful but alot of the information and tips mentioned in this book are things that are well known.

Life can throw a curveball at you. During the past few years many of us have come into financial difficulties. Covid sure has a lot to answer for thanks to many people being furloughed, hours being cut, having to juggle working from home whilst homeschooling. The stress about money to pay the bills on top is definitely something that isn't needed. Plus it's January which tends to be a bit tougher financially because Christmas has been and gone and December payday was most likely earlier than other months.
If you are in a position where you need to borrow money NEVER opt for payday loans as they cause much more stress and have high interest fees which you really don't need. Instead find a company like Polar Credit who offer alternative financial services.

The influence that peers have on our lives starts at early childhood and becomes greater as we grow into teenagers. There are 6 main forms that this can take. Peer pressure can be direct, indirect, positive, negative, unspoken and spoken. All these types can in some way contribute to your child’s mental health and even make them feel pressured to act in a way that they otherwise wouldn’t. This is especially harder as kids go into secondary school with the pressure of smoking/vaping amongst teens. Hence why a vape detector may start to become a thing in schools. Peer pressure can be a hard social force to ignore which is why we have teamed up with an independent school in Bristol to share ways that you can teach your child to resist peer pressure.

In 2020 it was estimated that a probable 1 in 6 children (aged 5 to 16) were likely to have some form of mental health issue. This is an increase of 50% that needs to be tackled but how do we help? We have teamed up with a sixth form in Hampshire to share a few tips on supporting children with their mental health.
Mathematics is a subject that you cannot ignore if you have plans to have a career in the technology sector.
In this context, it is also best to acknowledge the fact that mathematics is a tough subject for one and all. If someone states otherwise they are lying.
With that stated, it is no news that practising mathematics lessons throughout the year has many upsides but at the same time, did you know that practising mathematics the week before your exam can help you get good grades?
