Both of my girls have settled into school now and both finding their way in their new surroundings. It is interesting to see new friendships being made and how once upon a time my eldest daughter wanted to be known for being the best in her class but now is just as interested in being cool.

We all have some friends that are confident, sassy, composed as well as friendly. Such people come under the “cool” category but it seems that every pre-teen wants to follow the trends that can make them look like the coolest person on earth. Let's be honest though, you are a cool person if you are happy with the things you have and are confident as well as optimistic. You don’t have to go through detailed books to learn the characteristics of a cool person. It’s the small things that can make you look cool.

 

Being yourself

Being yourself is enough to make you the centre of attraction. A cool person never hesitates while expressing his or her views. It seems that you are considered a cool person if you pay no heed to people’s opinion about you.

Social

Being social is a quality not everyone is born with. However, most people develop their social skills with time. A cool person tends to make new friends and are more forgiving. People love being with them most of the time.

Humorous

Humour and a cool person go side by side. A cool person knows how to break the ice or ease the tensed situation. They can even look cool when they joke about the bad things that happened to them.

So ...... Cool v Clever?

Being clever is a quality that enables you to turn the things around and it isn't always about getting top marks in a maths test. One of the main characteristics of being clever is the ability to think creatively. Cleverness makes you capable of analysing the situations and acting accordingly. It is a driving force that helps you solve problems more quickly.

Speak last

A clever person usually speaks after listening to others. They are clever because they evaluate others opinions before giving their own. They have the capability to analyse the aspects of discussion.

Problem solvers

A person that knows the tactics to solve a problem is no doubt a clever person. He or she usually follow the simple and clever solutions to sort out an issue.

Confident

You usually find that that clever people are generally positive, and that’s what stimulates the confidence in them.

Can you be both cool and clever?

Most people think that being cool and clever require two different versions of a personality that cannot be merged. Each possess their own characteristics and personally I am a firm believer in that you can be cool AND clever at the same time.

In the end, I will be teaching my girls that you can create the same uber cool and expensive MAC mascara look with the more cost effective Maybelline version but the cool and clever girl will have enough money left over to buy herself a book too!

And breathe.,

The kids are "almost" all back to school and the summer holidays are officially over. I have to admit that I fall into the category of mums that gets really sad when the start of term is looming, I adore having the girls at home over the summer and whilst there is no doubt it puts more pressure on my purse strings, I love not having the madness of the school run and the daily regime.

That said, this year has brought new adventures with new schools for both girls. My eldest had her SATS at the end of Year 6 and (without entering the proud parent realms too much) did exceptionally well so starts her senior school at a high level, which I obviously want her the maintain. I am forever telling her that knowledge is power and learning will give her options in the future. From a parents perspective, I am always trying to make the best decisions for my girls, which is why I was delighted to find www.schoolreviewer.co.uk which is the one site that empowers parents with the knowledge that they are doing all they can to ensure their child’s educational journey is as happy, fulfilling and as rewarding as they can possibly make it.

I am a big stat geek so I love that School Reviewer is the only site in the UK that not only gives parents the invaluable stats and knowledge about every UK school at every level. There are presently 41,826 establishments on record within the School Reviewer database and they have detailed profiles, academic data and OFSTED reports for most of these. All that information in one place! But that is not all, it also ....

• Identifies which homes fall into which catchment areas.
• Allows parents to talk with other parents on school forums, both individually as single schools and nationally.
• Is the only site with walk through question by question downloadable videos for GCSE math’s, SATS and 11+ papers.
• Is recruiting tutors for free to create the biggest and most trusted tutor site for parents in the UK.
• Is the only one to show how a 100% A+ grade can be scored on all papers. (Wow!!)

Getting the right education is important for our children but as parents new schools, new uniform and new areas can be just as daunting, so having a forum is a great place to buy and sell school uniform and find like minded parents in your area. The School Reviewer "Parents Forum" opens up an avenue for parents to interact and discuss a whole range of topics and this isn't restricted to your local area, you can chat to parents regionally or nationally, which is a really interesting feature.

Education is a journey for both the children and us as parents (this is without mentioning the fear that descends when we are asked to help with some of the homework) so having a resource to help you and your child is a winner in my book. But don't take my word for it, go and take a look for yourself .....
