Congratulations to Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick who have become parents to twin daughters, delivered by a surrogate mother.

Whether you're a film enthusiast looking to showcase your directing talent, a parent looking for some fun filled entertainment for the family, or someone who just can't resist putting Hula Hoops on their fingers and having a play, this could be just what you've been waiting for.

Adults should be banned from smoking in cars when children are passengers, the new head of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has said.

With all the controversy surrounding vaccinations, one in four children under five has not had both MMR injections, which are needed to give full protection against measles, mumps and rubella.

Babies and children learn the vast majority of what they know from watching adults and those people around them. Most children have an identifiable primary carer - the person to whom the child is most strongly attached, and who they watch and learn from at an amazing rate. The more closely attached a child is to a person, the more easily they will learn from him/her.
