‘With home-schooling, Sophie has been incredible with Willow, it’s become the great reset in a sense it’s inspired people, the thing we go through in life means we put things off. 

‘My heart breaks for children because they don’t understand why they can’t see friends, when they see another child they run away scared. 

‘We have to ensure in the long-term that it doesn’t do any psychological damage, but when she’s older we can explain it and she’ll understand.’
