Youth Hostels Association

0 I
To avoid disappointment, especially during the summer months, it is best to enquire and make sure in advance that  a bed is reserved for you. Just telephone the Hostel (before 1000 or after 1700 hours). At most Youth Hostels you can now pay by Visa and Access credit cards.
1  
What you pay to stay with us entitles you to use Hostel facilities such as showers and washrooms, drying rooms, lounge, self-catering kitchen and dining areas.
2  
Sleeping is in comfortable rooms which vary in size - from 4-6 beds to larger dormitories with around 8-16 beds Blankets and pillows are included in the price for your overmight stay. You will need to either hire or buy a YHA sheet sleeping bag or you can bring your own sheets and pillow case.
3  
When staying at a Youth Hostel, we do ask you to help with some of the clearing up; usually something routine such as sweeping a floor or helping wash up. You also need to remember that Youth Hostels close for a period during the day - usually between 1000 and 1700 hours - and close for the night at 2300 hours. This helps to keep our running costs down.
4  
YHA is one of the leading environmental groups in Britain, helping to conserve Britain's unique landscape features and willife. Mimbers with an interest in conservation have the chance to carry out practical work - clearing outponds, opening up footpaths and planting trees So if you'd like to put something back into the landscape, now's your chance!
5  
We specialise in budget residential facilities for groups of young people. 28 of our Hostels offer field facilities and many have classrooms. Datapack is publication designed for group leaders and contains details of those Youth Hostels which are particularly suitable for groups.
6  
If you like meeting people with similar interests and getting out and about in the countryside, then why not join a YHA group in your area? YHA groups organise regular social events and weekend activities - from discos and barbecues to theatre trips and country walks. Details of  your nearest group can be found in the YHA Accommodation Guide.
7  
YHA is a member of the International Youth Hostel Federation and this means that once a member in England and Wales, you can stay at any Hostel showing the YHF sign. So whether you choose Europe or Australia, India or Peru, you can still stay with YHA. All you need to do is attach a recent photograph to your membership card and it becomes valid worldwide. And for recognised groups it's even simpler. International Leader cards enable groups of non-members - aged between 10 and 20 years - to stay in Youth Hostels, as long as they accompanied by a YHA member who is aged 18 years or over!

Danger when a computer becomes your best friend

0 I
Many of Britain's children are becoming computer addicts, according to leading education specialists. Such children then lose interest in anything else and become withdrawn and introverted.
1  
Up to one in ten youngsters - over half a million - are affected. The problem usually starts between the ages of nine and eleven and most often affects boys, who tend to get more involved with machines than girls. They spend up to 40 hours a week tapping away.
2  
'These children are unable to  relate to friends and family or express their feelings,' says Mrs Noel Janis-Norton, a specialist at treating problem children and adults. They behave badly at school and at home - and when desperate parents forbid them to use computers, they find ways to use the computers in secret and deceive their parents. The result is that they often fail school tests and lose friends. But they do not care. The computer has become their best - and sometimes their only - friend.
3  
Mrs Janis-Norton says children who have difficulty communicating are hit by this problem. 'A child who is energetic and outgoing is unlikely to become a computer addict, although any kind of child can enjoy the computer,' she says. 'There's a very big difference between use and abuse. Often the problem continues into the late teens and sometimes into adult life, where the addict becomes increasingly shut off from reality.'
4  
Mrs Janis-Norton adds: 'The situation changes when they have less to be anxious about. Many grow out of it when they leave home. Like any other nervous condition, such as asthma, it hardly exists in the summer holidays.'
5  
Most children who have this kind of nervous complaint are not doing as well at school as they could. Now teachers are being asked to look for the more obvious patterns of behaviour. The National Union of Theachers has already warned its staff to identify pupils who become restless and agitated.
6  
Tony Miller, one of the teachers' union spokesmen, says parents should limit the amount of time their children spend at the machines. He adds: 'Very young children take to computers like fish to water. It seems to be like the problem of obsessive TV-watching.' One parent was woken at 5 a. m. by a strange bleeping noise. She later discovered it was her addict son at his computer.
7  
Mrs Janis-Norton claims a high success rate with her unique system which involves teaching the parents as well as the child. It is a similiar problem ot gambling or drug addiction. She says: 'With the parents, we examine all the issues that come up in a child's day - food, bedtime, co-operation, homework, the tone of voice children use when talking to their parents, and sweets. We teach parents how to be in charge of the situation, how to be positive, firm and consistent. We give the child extra lessons in whatever subjects they're weak in. By slowly getting the children off the machines, and replacing computers with other activities and more confidence, the habit is broken.'
