Posted on by Emma Reed

So why do we as parents sometimes feel like we aren’t doing a good enough job or feel there is competition amongst other parents? There was one area I discovered a few weeks ago that could attribute; the health visitor review…

I received my son’s 2-year health visitor review pack in the post and thought‘oh here we go, lots of activities to test like at the one-year one’. How many of us run around the house checking what our 2-year-olds can do?!
