Six signs in everyday behaviour that your child is colour blind

There are over three million people in the UK that are colour blind. This means they find it difficult to differentiate between certain colours and often get colours wrong.

But spotting the signs in children who are colour blind can be tricky. According to experts, children learn by association and "guess" certain colours correctly.
