Duchess of Cambridge says children should be given "space"

Children should be encouraged to be imaginative and let them learn for themselves, in order to grow and be confident when they are older.

In a recent speech, the Duchess of Cambridge reminisced about her own childhood and said that she had a “wonderful and secure” one.

The Duchess also urged parents and teachers to provide children with some “space” as their “heads are too full”.

The speech was intended to stress upon the need to intervene with vulnerable young people at a very early stage, in order to stop problems from happening at a later stage.
