"Pip Pip Hooray for Tunnels!"   PIP

"I first noticed that Pip Pip had trouble going through tunnels when he was just starting out in class. Elise had a very dark purple tunnel, and it was almost as if he couldn't see it. I don't think he was afraid of them; and I wondered if his reluctance might be because he is tall, and going through a tunnel forces him to 'hunker down' to get through. I remember one teacher asking, 'Does he really understand tunnels at all?' Happily, for both of us, with time, encouragement and repeated exposure, he identifies them better and our runs are much more successful." - Judy
