Default Children? Grandchildren? Non gardening

My full apologies.

I thought that this group had parents and grandparents in it, the type who
would show interest and compassion towards other children, as I do being a
parent and grandparent.

I felt that this was a very good idea and was interested to see how far it
had spread up the country, but as none of you are parents and grandparents,
you would not, and therefore 'could' not see this.

I do apologise for bringing something with a header in which some could not
understand, but really and honestly thought, that this newsgroup had a cross
section of ages which could give me feedback.

Once again my most humble apologies.

When young children are involved in an accident or some other traumatic
experience, they need to be calmed and one of the ways this is being done

is
to give TLC. A scheme which started in Sussex, spread to Hampshire and the
Isle of Wight and is now in 32 counties is to equip Ambulances with a

little
supply of TLC's to give to the children to love and to keep. It gives them
something to concentrate on and has a very good soothing effect.

TLC's? Little Teddy Bears and the scheme is called Teddies with Loving

Care.

As I said all ambulances in Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are
equipped with these. Are they in your county? Just how far has the scheme
spread and does anyone know of any other place where traumatised children
might be and received a TLC?
