The Crying Game


A recent worldwide study has revealed that only Canadian babies spend more time crying than British, with experts blaming over-anxious parents as the cause. The authors of the study (published in the Journal of Paediatrics last month), suggest parents from Denmark and Germany are more relaxed about their babies and are more likely to wait a minute or two after crying starts before picking them up. British parents, however, spend less time holding their infants overall, but are quicker to snatch them up when they show signs of distress, possibly reinforcing the need to cry and preventing the baby learning to self-soothe.


The studies showed that, across all countries, babies cried for an average of two hours per day for their fi rst six weeks of life. The crying dropped off dramatically from this point. The studies showed that colic was four times more likely in British babies than the German or Danish babies. Colic is often defi ned by the ‘rule of three’: crying for more than three hours per day, for more than three days per week, and for longer than three weeks in an infant who is well-fed and otherwise healthy.


Colic is not related to ill health and all babies cry more than we think. When it comes to parenting it


The World Of Work


For the last two weeks leading up to the Easter holidays, Corfe Hills School’s Year 10s were out on work experience with various local companies, fi nding out what it is like in the world of work.


The feedback has been very positive from both the employers themselves and also from the teachers who have visited them during their placements.


Work experience is a valuable activity that helps develop communication and reliability as well as seeing how organisations work from the inside.


This year we have again been supported by many organisations and we are very grateful for the time and effort they put into providing the work experience programme for students. These have ranged from big companies such as Sunseeker and Siemens to smaller ones like Hillside Vets, commercial companies like Lush and Marks & Spencer as well as local schools; Broadstone First, Springdale First, Rushcombe and Henbury First among others.


A full list of companies who have supported us can be found on our website. We would like to thank all of them for their continued support of our students enabling them to further develop their employability and awareness of the world of work.

The students have demonstrated what an amazing group of youngsters we have at Corfe Hills. Here are some of the things the employers have said...


Albert Marsh Funeral Directors and Monumental Masons, Wareham: “Excellent worker, got on with all tasks positively.”


Barclays: “Good at observing / asking questions.”


Blakell Europlacer Ltd: “Polite and willing to work. The components he was assembling were used to fulfi l orders going abroad.”


Merox Screen Printing: “Very impressed. Labels he prepared were for a Boeing aircraft!”


Postman Pat Pre School: “Very confi dent. She has bonded with all of the children.”


Springdale First School: “Very professional. Going above and beyond by staying after school hours.”


Sturminster Marshall First School: “Her positive aura brought a great atmosphere to the workplace.”


Sturminster Marshall Golf Club: “A Team Player.” The Goods Yard: “Shown lots of initiative.”


WHS Ltd Poole. The student said: “It has been an interesting and challenging time and the experience has boosted my confi dence.”


Wren Music, Okehampton: “Absolute delight.” Explore, leap, climb and party to the max at the area’s largest soft play and party centre. looks like we need more of that British stiff upper lip.


What practical things can new parents do? Be relaxed around their recent arrival. Avoid overstimulating your baby by continually picking them up and putting them down. Babies like movement – pushing them around in their pram or pushchair or going for a drive can be comforting. Some babies fi nd white noise soothing – static from a radio, etc.


Anything else? Yes, sing. Research suggests that the best way of ensuring a happy and contented newborn is by singing while the baby is still in the womb – the babies who had enjoyed prenatal lullabies tended to cry for about a quarter of the time.


The two months after the arrival of a newborn can be fraught and become jaded by sleep deprivation. It’s best not to engage in the crying game.
