When you love Netflix, you really love Netflix. It might happen gradually, it might happen overnight but it will happen and when it does it’s easy to appreciate the amazing learning potential that exists in the combination of a medium that’s often relegated to the ‘mindless entertainment’ category, with the tangible, precious experience of books and the modern luxury of the …
Like many Mum’s I can often catch myself discussing the very different natures of my two boys. Polar opposites, chalk and cheese………..you name it I’ve said it.
