My wife flew out to see her mother in Spain, who is undergoing medical treatment. I dropped her off at the airport, and then took my eldest daughter and my eldest grandson into Cardiff.

You don't ram it down their throats - we didn't stay long - but you're at least showing them that these places are for everyone - not other people. The fact that entry is free helped too!
