“So you’re having problems with maths?” Tina asked

“Yeah and that’s all I can’t do everything else I do but the minute he put’s numbers on paper I just see big black dots” Nathan explained

“What’s four at four?” Jacqui asked

“8” Nathan answered straight away

She took a piece of paper from the table and wrote a sum on paper.

“Do that for me?” Jacqui asked

Nathan looked at the paper with a blank look on his face.

“I cant Jacqui I don’t know how too it’s just dots” Nathan sighed

“It says 10 add 18?” Jacqui asked

“28” Nathan answered without a problem

“So it’s only when it’s on paper you cant do it?” Amy asked

“Yes and I told Mr Morris that and he just said I was a problem child and stupid” Nathan told Amy

“Oh did he now!” Bette said her temper clearly getting ticked off

“Baby see the next time something like this happens I need you to come and tell us” Tina said

“Yep were not mind readers Nathan I cant help unless I know and I don’t want you ever to feel like I will take an adults side over yours…I thought you were just being a little rebel like your sister was…And that was because you never said anything you just stayed quite…do you understand that” Bette stated

Nathan nodded.

“Come here” Tina said

Nathan got up and went over giving Tina and cuddle. “You’re not silly…You’re not stupid…and you’re most certainly not an idiot okay?”

“Okay” Nathan said sitting up on Tina’s knee and cuddling in

“See what happens with the numbers on paper Nate…It happens to loads of people and it’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about…Just means you need some help with it” Jacqui smiled

“Yeah and your teacher is an arse quite frankly” Amy snapped

“Well sort that out don’t you worry” Bette stated “Ok my turn for a cuddle then its bed time mister”

Nathan got off Tina and gave Bette a cuddle before heading to his bedroom.

“Erm excuse me??” Amy said horrified “I’m here too you know”

Nathan laughed and walked back giving Amy a big cuddle. Jacqui pulled him next
