The MMR vaccine is the safest and most effective way to protect your child against measles, mumps and rubella. If you are unsure if your child is up to date, just check their Red Book (personal child health record). If they are not up to date, contact your GP to book a vaccination appointment. It’s never too late to catch up.
Do you ever wonder how your child comes up with the most profound questions?
Sometimes, it can be worrying, knowing that no matter how much we try to shelter our children from the difficult parts of life, we also must prepare them for it. Every family is unique, and we know when our child is worried or concerned about the wider world and their place in it.
The team at Global Learning London created a resource that provides information and links to help parents and carers to have difficult conversations with their children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the team by emailing hello@globallearninglondon.org
