Parents place more emphasis on their children being honest and kind than anything else, according to research.A study of 1,000 mums and dads, of children aged up to seven, revealed the key attributes they’d most like their youngsters to develop as they grow up – with honesty, good manners and self-confidence coming out on top.A quarter aspire for their offspring to have a good comprehension of emotions, while half would like their children to learn the art of “being kind to others”.Loyalty, patience, and optimism were also among the traits to feature in the top 20 list parents hope their children will develop.In fact, 79 percent felt it's more important their little ones grow up with a good group of friends, than aspiring to be the next Prime Minister.Claudia Caron, from Thomas & Friends, which commissioned the research, said: “It’s really heart-warming to see how many mums and dads want their child to grow up being kind, honest and independent, over other traits.“It just goes to show that these attributes many take for granted aren’t a given, and are something people want to encourage their little ones to have.”The study also found, for 47 percent of those polled, it’s important their offspring has these attributes, with 58 percent believing it will set them up well for later life.It also emerged nurture trumps nature for 63 percent of mums and dads, as they admit to actively doing things to teach their children these important characteristics.While a quarter think soft skills, such as initiative and organisation, are much more important for children to learn at a young age compared to hard skills, such as reading and writing.Buying books for their children, reading books to educate themselves, and sending their child

The Mirror reports that the company is already hiring a new UK team to oversee its high street comeback, four years after it closed down.The chain's Australian arm last year signed a licence agreement to bring its “digital and physical retail commerce” back to the UK after the chain fell into administration in 2018.In preparation for the comeback of the ages, it has now ramped up its recruitment and plans to relaunch the brand in the next few months.The company dates back to 1985 when it launched in the UK modelling itself as the 'world's first toy supermarket.'Sadly in 2017, the US parent company filed for bankruptcy after debts reached more than £3.5billion.A year later, the iconic toy chain collapsed, closing all of its 100 UK branches and triggering thousands of redundancies.But last year money came again as owner WHP Global signed an agreement with Toys 'R' Us Australia to lead the brand's revival in the UK.WHP Global had previously acquired a controlling interest in Tru Kids, the parent company of the Toys 'R' Us and Babies 'R' Us brands.Toys ‘R’ Us has hired senior buyer James Ford, who helped build Debenhams’ toy arm, for the core Toys 'R' Us business, while Katie Ellis, who has worked for both Toys 'R' Us and Mothercare in the past, and Argos toys buyer Lukasz Jasinski have joined the Babies 'R' US UK team.Toys 'R' Us Australia chief executive Louis Mittoni, who is spearheading the UK launch said: “I’m very excited to welcome over 100 years of retailing experience in our new team, who will lead the relaunch our iconic brand back into the UK market in the next few months."We have an amazing toy and baby buying team, which I believe is the best in the country.“With this team now in place, we’re hitting the ground

Jose Mourinho's comments on the Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo debate back in 2012 appear to have been proven correct a decade on.For much of the last 15 years, fans and pundits alike have debated as to who is the best player of all-time between Ronaldo and Messi.Mourinho's reasoning for siding with Ronaldo back in 2012 now appears to have been proven correct following recent criticism of Messi since he joined Paris Saint-Germain.The former Chelsea boss argued that Ronaldo worked harder out of the two of them, with Messi recently coming under fire for walking around during matches.Speaking to The Independent in 2012, Mourinho explained: "It would be a crime for Cristiano to not win the Ballon d'Or. And I keep saying it's harder to be Cristiano than Lionel Messi."I'll tell you: Messi grew up in the team he plays for now; with the teammates he plays with now.“Cristiano came from England to a team that was losing.

Lionel Messi must know what they are doing with a ball at their feet.And Liverpool youngster Mateusz Musialowski, aka 'The Polish Messi' is proving with every passing game that he could be the next big player at Anfield.Jurgen Klopp has recently made a habit of blooding some of the Merseysiders’ top academy stars in and amongst the first team.Kaide Gordon, Tyler Morton, and Conor Bradley have all been handed opportunities with the first team, while the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones have all blossomed under the former Borussia Dortmund manager’s guidance.And if the evident admiration and shock in Virgil van Dijk’s reaction to the young Polishman is anything to go by, then Musialowski could soon be coming to a Liverpool match near you.“Can we talk about his crossing?” Van Dijk said to the F2 Freestylers, after the 18-year-old whipped in a string of devilish crosses.“His crossing is magnificent! The consistency is scary.”Liverpool beat Arsenal to the attacking midfielder’s signature in August 2020, after he impressed Klopp and the Reds’ scouts during a training camp.He has since been awarded his first professional contract at the club.HAVE YOUR SAY! Can Mateusz Musialowskibecome a Liverpool legend? Comment belowMusialowski first appeared on Liverpool’s radar after some truly exceptional displays with Polish side SMS Lodz, where he netted an eye-watering 133 goals in 88 matches."When I see the space, I just go for it,” Musialowski said during the video.“I have seen a lot of Lionel Messi goals like that, so I try to be like him and I want to repeat it."In similar fashion to the legendary Argentinean, reports from the Athletic claim the Polish star brought a beaming smile to Klopp’s face when he stuck the

Jamie Carragher's revelation about Lionel Messi isn't the first time that a Liverpool hero has been called a "donkey" by the PSG forward. The Sky Sports pundit explained on Friday Night Football that he received an Instagram DM from "the man himself" last year."I had a little pop at Ronaldo earlier in the season, didn’t think it was a great signing for United, then I said the example of Messi, I didn’t think Messi's a great signing for PSG," Carragher explained."It was on Monday Night Football and I got a private message on Instagram."I will not be showing private messages but he basically called me a donkey."Carragher's story had football fans in hysterics, but it is one which current Reds midfielder James Milner has told before.After an incident with Messi in a Champions League game, Milner revealed to the Daily Mail in 2019: "He wasn't happy."He was giving me plenty in Spanish going down the tunnel at half-time as well.

tennis player has a net worth more than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's combined, yet you've probably never even heard of him.Romanian Ion Tiriac, who hung up his racket in 1979, only made around £200,000 during his career.He won the French Open Doubles title in 1970 and reached the semi-final of Wimbledon that same year before fading into relative obscurity.Following his retirement from the game, the Romanian embarked on a coaching career and worked with the likes of compatriot Ilie Nastase and even a young Boris Becker.In the decades since, he's proved himself a savvy businessman and made a string of good investment decisions which saw him turn that cash into a fortune believed to be around £1.5 billion.In comparison, his wealth dwarves the combined net worth of Messi (£440 million) and Ronaldo (£368 million) who are two of the richest active sports stars on the planet.Towards the end of the Cold War, Tiriac took advantage of fading communism in his native Romania to become the first to open a privately-owned bank, and the Tiriac Bank has been a huge financial success.Under the company Tiriac Holdings Ltd, he has since branched out into retail, insurance and airline businesses and by 2007 had been named by Forbes as Romania's first billionaire.According to data compiled by Forbes, he's the third wealthiest man in sport, behind WWE owner Vince McMahon and NBA legend Michael Jordan.What's the first thing you'd buy if you had Ion Tiriac's fortune and why?
