My daughter who has OCD and ADHD started developing `disordered eating' about 18 months ago. Luckily she was already under the care of a psychologist and psychiatrist but they recommended https://www.majaberry.com/ for some specialist help. She was good and definitely very expert in the area, so w...
I'd recommend looking at Bonnie Harris's website. https://bonnieharris.com/ She's a bit of a guru in this area and I just noticed has a podcast on the website on sibling rivalry! Worth signing up to her emails which are full of useful advice. She's based in the US but offers online courses and on...
Can anyone recommend a good language school, summer camp or volunteering programme in Spain suitable for a 17 year old? She wants to improve her Spanish, while ideally staying with a family.

Unfortunately you have to be 18 to work anywhere that serves alcohol, so most cafes, restaurants etc. a...
Hi. We’d be interested. We live in a house with a good sized garden off Northcote Road. If you could send me pictures I can tell you more about our house. Thank you!
I would suggest looking at Trinity school in Croydon. It's 10 minutes by train from Clapham Junction plus a 10 minute bus journey the other end. There is also a school bus service. My daughter started in the 6th form there this year having recently been diagnosed with ADHD. We chose Trinity over...
I really sympathise as I’ve had similar problems with my now 16 year old. She sees a wonderful therapist (online at the moment but normally at the Awareness Centre on Abbeville Road) but she usually takes a few weeks off over the summer. Worth trying her though. Her name is Anna Jurek http://the2soc...
