The robo saving for your child
As December rolls around, many parents get to breathe a momentary sigh of relief that a monthly school fee payment won’t be going off this month.

I shudder because I can now see all the non-verbal signals that he was sending, saying he was not ready. We could have waited a week longer, just to give him time. If I had known better, I would have done better.
