Sophie
I used to be a full-time Pilates instructor, but now balancing work and caring for Liam. As we are an international family, I want Liam to learn both Dutch and Portuguese and understand different cultural backgrounds. I care a lot about his early development, but with so much information out there, it’s hard to know what’s best. I strongly avoid exposing Liam to screens (at least for the first two years), so I need more alternative activities to stimulate his development.  - Sophie
