We administered the marshmallow test to my middle child when he was almost 3. He ate the marshmallow immediately, turned his big baby blues up to us, and begged for another chance.

There’s so much to do still. As a parent carer of a disabled young man, I can tell you that disability and carers charities still have masses to do, and would dearly love to get the kind of money Stonewall and other charities get (and then waste), not just from private donations, but the taxpayer. JKR had to step in to fund Beira’s Place, a rape crisis centre in Edinburgh, because the other one has been a “Kafkaesque” (word used by a judge in court) disaster. Charities fighting VAWAG could do with those funds, too. But disabled people and battered/raped women aren’t as glamorous, I guess.
