Children and parents are being shown a 'softly softly' approach to interacting. Joyce Reid reports In Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney (Walker Books), a rabbit reaches up to the sky to illustrate the enormity of his emotion. Many pre-school children in the poorer areas of Dundee are now also stretching as high as they can, in imitation of this well-known bunny. They are taking part in a project designed to help parents interact better with their children, and give early years workers ideas for physical activities.
