I knew that having children would be a life-changing experience, but I was thinking sleepless nights, worry, going out with sick on my shoulder. I didn’t realise they’d teach me things like this:
Slow down
I remember rushing Harry to along one day, constantly telling him to get a move on. He was looking at the moss on the wall, studying the traffic lights, gazing up at planes. Eventually I realised we weren’t actually in a hurry and that I’d find it much less stressful to go at …

My 6-year-old, Harry is currently a bit obsessed with drawing. He can sit for half an hour and then hand me ten pictures he’s crafted for me. It’s lovely, but if I kept them all, the house would soon be overflowing. Here are a few things you can do with your children’s art:

Bin it

Wheeling a manual chair makes your hands black with muck. If I’m going to be out for a while and now in my powerchair I take them …

I’m a mum of two boys, and like most typical boys their age, computer games are more interesting than learning.? I wanted to help them develop their literacy skills further as I felt they were a little behind and a teacher at the school recommended to me a book by Pie Corbett
One of our favourite games is “tell a story”. We try and get as many of the family involved, from youngest to oldest.? You simply sit in a circle around the room and take it in …
