One of the sponsors on this week's episode is Kumon, the UK and Ireland's largest supplementary education provider and we are delighted to be working with them again.

We are regular listeners to the podcast, we have heard us speak about Kumon before and there's actually a free trial from the first of October to the 15th of November where families new to Kumon can try out maths and English study programmes for seven days with no obligation to sign up.

Yeah, this is incredible. Kumon is for children of all ages and abilities, whether your child would benefit from being academically stretched and challenged more than school curriculum allows, then Kumon is for you.

Also, if your child needs to build up the foundations necessary to improve their confidence and ability in maths or English and their grades, Kumon is probably for you as well.

Exactly, Kumon is really one to help them build the self-confidence and mindset they need to succeed. Plus, with Kumon Connect, children can now study and complete work sheet digitally on their tablet.

This means they're even more accessible and convenient. Plus, it makes feedback easier to you.

Yeah, that sounds like the Georgia seal of approval to me. Visit Kumon.co.uk forwardstashtrial or Kumon.i.e forwardstashtrial to book your seven day free trial today.

Hello and welcome to Made by Mum as the podcast. I'm Zoe and I'm Georgia and we're here talking all things parenthood, you know, the real conversations, tips and tricks, products we love and brands we can't live without.

Let's get into it. Happy Friday. Happy Friday. We made it.

I'm okay. I'm good. I'm just tired. I don't know. You know, if you've seen the Instagram this week, somehow we've become co-sleepers with Gigi.

Oh, it's happened. I thought you said you were never going to be a co-sleeper.

I did. I've said this many times. Many, many, many times. But I don't know how we've got into it, but she just always seems to end up in our bed.

And I'm not, I'm not sure why. Like it's like we both look at each other and we both want to say no, but neither of us has the strength or the like inclination to like to see it out.

Because with Axel, we say to him, no, you know, you know, go back into your own bed and he'll just do it. Whereas Gigi will like throw herself on the floor, scream, shout.

At two o'clock in the morning, that's not very good as well as it. We're going to have to like walk on eggshells around her a bit, you know, she's a kind of that child.

And then I keep reading these things, you know, these quotes that go around Instagram that are like hold them tight. They're only going to be little.

Exactly. Yeah.

Get them sleep in your bed, let them cuddle you all of this. And so when I'm like shoved up like against the flip like with my hand on the floor, hanging out the bed.

And she's kicking me in my back. I try to remember those things.

Yeah. I do know what George me and you have always had sort of similar opinions on this that we we just chose not to go sleep.

You did we did. And that was all fine. I feel I'm going to admit this. I feel like I've slightly missed out on that side of it.

And that is that does pay me a little bit. You know, our kids are so used to sleeping in their own bed that they actually don't want to come in our bed.
