Call You and Yours: What have you done to improve your children's chances of success?

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Call You and Yours: What have you done to improve your children's chances of success?

What will parents do to improve their child's chances of success? A report claims some parents pay on average of an extra £26,500 just to get their children into a desired school.

Today we're asking - what have you done to improve your children's chances of success?

A report out last week from the bank, Santander, claims 20% of parents are prepared to pay on average extra £26,500 just to get their children into their school of choice . That's just under the average full-time salary in the UK of £28,000.

Joining us for the programme are Professor Robert Winston and clinical psychologist Linda Blair.

Have you moved house to be nearer a good school? Have your brought tutors in, or helped organise revision timetables?
Or do you think the best way to help is to back off?
