When your child begins school for the first time you may haveÌý prepared yourself for the cliques that can form in the playground - but you might not expect them to be formed by the other mums and dads! In the early days of a new term you can be forgiven for feeling that everyone else belongs to a close social network which seems impossible to break into.
Miriam O'Reilly talks with the author Mil Millington, father of 2 and to the journalist Katie Tait, mother of 3 about the kind of cliques that can develop in the playground and how you can survive the torment of the school gates.
Queen Bee Mums and Kingpin Dads: Coping with the Parents, Teachers, Coaches and Counsellors Who Can Rule, or Ruin, Your Child's Life by Rosalind Wiseman, published by Piatkus BooksÌý- ISBN: 0749926929
