How To Help Your Child Acheive Their Ambitions
Parents often have lofty career ambitions for their children but a new report by The Children's Mutual shows that the kids are equally abitious.

My Friend's Child is Disobedient
Q: My Friend has a five year old child who whenever I visit her house, which is quite frequently as we have been friends for many years, is increasingly disobedient and throws tantrums and crying fits if she cannot get her own way or if we are having a discussion and she is not receiving the attention she requires. My Friend does not chastise her and openly admits she is too soft with her. It has got to the point where I am dreading going to see my Friend as I cannot stand her daughter, that sounds really awful and I am at a loss of how to deal with the situation or broach the subject with my pal.

My Son Lacks Confidence
Q: Our son will soon be 6, he appears to completely lack confidence. He will not go to parties, unless me or his dad are there, even if it’s a party with his school friends. He is really good at football and we thought it would be a good idea if he joined the local football team. We have been taking him along and he will not join in at all, even though he knows some of the other children there. He has joined the football team at school which they do in the lunch hour. When he is in a comfortable environment he appears over confident. Can you help, do we make him go, or is it us?
