Lately my daughters grades have really improved, when I asked her why, apart from the obvious, she said that she felt her achievements were up to her. She no longer had someone pushing her all the time, wanting her best to get even better. I have a much more relaxed approach to her learning, believing that as long as she feels she has worked to the best of her ability then that is good enough for me. Liam will do fine, sounds like he is already in possession of an inquisitive mind and that is half the battle over.Penelope Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190283086298117094noreply@blogger.com
