We were in England this weekend for my Mother's 70th Birthday. The whole family was there & we went out on saturady for a meal together.

A typical 15 year old is expected to be in a 'I don't want to be here' mood, to not be dynamic, to be shy/quiet. No! It was talkative & friendly. I heard it talking to many people through the evening.

It did attempt to have some wine & a beer without Dad noticing, I knew this was happening & didn't stop it, I just made it aware that I knew to see if it was controlled without my interference.

I was very impressed how it has changed. I now feel good about us leaving England to live in a new country, new language, no other family here.. I can see now how it has started to develop positively.

It is not perfect... but things are going in the right direction..
