If you’re taking your teen to Glastonbury or any festivals this summer, you are probably thinking about all the things that could possibly go wrong. There could be a big fall out, maybe they get lost, or it may just turn out to not really be their thing. Either way, it’s best to be positive, as they are at that age where they probably want more independence, embracing more responsibility, and figuring out their likes and dislikes. Here are a few things to consider before the big event. Choose the festival together In a typical year, thousands of festivals take place across the country with some having more than 200,000 people in attendance. From music to heritage and comedy to film, it’s safe to say that you and your teen are spoilt for choice. “Taking kids to festivals is a great way of introducing some outside life and it’s good to try and make it as cost effective as possible, so being prepared is key,” said child and behavioural expert Amanda Jenner. “Make sure you pick your festival wisely for the first time and check the events so you can make a plan for the day.” And sometimes, opting for a smaller or fringe festival would make for a less overwhelming introduction. Allow them to bring a friend This wouldn’t be a terrible idea, especially if the friend is also a first-time goer. Although a festival is like a small town populated with friendly faces you can build new interactions with, it helps to have a familiar face around — close in age — who your teen can share this new experience with. It could also help ease any quiet worries they have and give them a real opportunity to enjoy themselves, escape for the weekend and strengthen their friendship bond. “Bringing a friend is OK, but it’s a huge responsibility so lay down the rules in front of both sets of parents and have a meeting point if you get separated. Make sure they have mobiles fully charged. Location settings on at all times,” Jenner added. Tell them the truth If you’ve been to a festival before, you would know what to expect, so rip the band-aid off. Give your child the heads up and let them know that there will be incredibly long queues, huge crowds and sometimes even some chaos. And yes, people will be drunk, giddy and misbehaving. “I would make your own wrist band with mobile numbers on it so you can be contacted at anytime if you get separated. And make a note of any medical conditions to be on the safe side,” said Jenner. [xdelx],, At this point, it may also be worth speaking to them about staying hydrated, alcohol consumption and interacting with strangers. “Make sure they are hydrated at all times and understand the importance of fluids. Freeze water bottles so they stay cool all day. [For older children], explain the rules: never accept anything of anyone other than your parents. “Pack snacks for the day as it can be expensive. Nothing that would melt. Invest in a soft cool bag to keep things cold for snacks during the day. As food is pricey.” Support them in their outfit choices Thankfully the sun will be shining, but knowing British weather, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket. Remember to bring a light jacket you can layer up with, your umbrella, and hat too. That aside, festivals are for statement outfits that will ensure you stand out from the crowd. Depending on your teen — you know them best — let them choose a theme that combines their personal style with comfort. It’ll give them something to look forward to. Make a plan but be flexible Familiarising yourself with the schedule could help you better plan your time at the festival. Depending on what type of festival it is, there could be many things happening at the same time. Are there any must-sees? Things you don’t mind missing? Any non-negotiables? Dividing your schedule using these subcategories will help you both remain on the same page. “Give them some space. But perhaps for a first festival allow 30 minutes at a time to see if they adhere to the times, and let them go for a further 15 mins each time,” said Jenner. “Make sure you have a good plan so you get the most out of the day and night. There are so many things to see, especially in the family facilities that are available.” [xdelx] Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live 10 ways to give your home an instant summer glow How – and why – to prioritise mindfulness in the busyness of summer 5 sandal trends that will be huge this summer

An advert by fast fashion retailer Warehouse has been banned after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that its model was “unhealthily thin”. The watchdog concluded that the advert, which showed the model wearing a bodysuit and an oversized leather jacket, was “irresponsible”. It received a complaint about the image which appeared in a product listing on Warehouse’s website in February. In it, the model was wearing the jacket draped off her left shoulder, with a high-cut bodysuit underneath that exposed her legs. Warehouse told the ASA that it believed the image did not present the model as appearing “unhealthily thin”. The company said the model was a UK size eight and had a BMI which fell withi the NHS standard of a “healthy weight”. The retailer argued that it was “wrong to suggest that the image presented her in an irresponsible manner”. According to the ASA, Warehouse further argued that “due to prevailing standards in society around the perception of body types, it would be insensitive to label the model as promoting an ‘unhealthy’ and ‘thin’ body type.” It said it promoted body inclusivity and worked closely with model agencies to hire a range of models who “represent women of all body types across the UK”. But the ASA said in its ruling that the model’s visible shoulder and upper arm “appeared small and narrow”, and her “collar bone and torso… appeared very thin”. The watchdog added that the way the model was posed gave her knee and thigh “the appearance of being very narrow” and also made her hip bone “appear particularly pronounced. “We considered that the pose and styling of her legs emphasised her slimness in a manner which made her appear unhealthily thin,” it said, concluding that the ad was “irresponsible” and “must not appear again in its current form”. The Independent has contacted Warehouse for comment. The issue of body image in the modelling industry has shifted over the years, but appearing thin is still a priority for many fashion brands and modelling agencies. Most recently, former model Esmeralda Seay-Reynolds told Variety that when she was 16, she received some unsafe advice from her agent about how to stay slim. She claimed that her agent at the time, from NEXT Management, told her: “Cotton balls are organic, so it’s fine if you just swallow them to make yourself feel full.” Joel Wilkenfeld, co-founder of the agency, told the publication: “If a model would have brought that to our attention, that agent would have been fired right there on the spot.” Read More Glastonbury festival fashion isn’t just about ripping off Kate Moss… it might not even exist anymore ‘What in the wingardium leviosa?’: Emma Watson stuns fans with ‘levitating’ dress John Goodman reveals he’s lost 200 pounds as he makes red carpet appearance Glastonbury festival fashion might not even exist anymore 5 sandal trends that will be huge this summer Royal Ascot attendees bring colour and vibrancy to big race day
