Ten things - Primary Research

I wanted to get a broader range of topic to look at producing books for, but as I'm not a parent I found it difficult to think of many. I decided to conduct a questionnaire and ask those I know with children to answer it.

1) What topics do you feel a young child learns at home, and not at school?

2) Which topics do you feel a young child should learn at home?

3) What subjects did you find difficult explaining to your child / children

3) Did ever of your children ever ask questions you found hard to answer? E.g What happens when you die? What does divorce mean? Examples please.

4) As a parent, would you find useful, a range of childrens books which look at illustrating and explaining sympathetically such topics?

5) If such a range of books were produced, what age range do you think they would be best directed at?

6) In relation to question 5, would you suggest only illustrations, or illustrations and type (for a child to read, or to be read to)
