My gorgeous boy, Georgie, is 6 and has achieved so much in terms of reading, sight words, maths. It makes my heart swell with pride to see him achieve something. Today, he wanted to cross the road “on his own” . My heart in my mouth, I guided him verbally to stop, check and cross when it was clear. He did it without a problem – Genevieve
