July, the last month of the school year, and it’s been quite a spectacular one. With Covid rules, pretty much a full term of remote learning, and our school’s mini bubbles to help even further, it’s been an odd year….
June’s been a great month at school for N. Ok, there’ve been some things he’s not keen on (moaning about the food has increased since the old cook left, and he moaned about that enough!), and having to do more…
Tweens and independence. There’s always a stage where children need to be given more independence. But it’s hard to know when that is. Especially when there’s a disagreement between parents as to how to deal with it. I never thought…
