Throughout all our work we stress that you need to create an environment that is sufficiently challenging to produce a feeling of achievement – but never so challenging as to appear overwhelming. It is a delicate but vital balance.

Over-ambitious parents fail because, instead of encouragement and support, they provide a hot-house environment and pressure to succeed.

The UNSHAKEABLE rule is:

‘If your child is not enjoying it, stop immediately.’

It is vital to recognise that each child develops at their own pace. Albert Einstein started talking very late, yet became a world-renowned scientist. So whatever happens, give your child a chance.
The only race your child is in is the Human Race.
