Find a circle, and know when to wait

Curious children often most need other curious children. A maths circle, a chess club or a coding group gives them people to think with, which matters as much as harder work.

You can start one: three families, a problem a week, a kitchen table. You do not need to know the answers; you need to ask "how did you get that?"

And sometimes the right move is no move. If your child is happy, interested and has friends, more is not always better. Waiting is a decision too.
