Back to School & Transitioning to Secondary School
Confidence. Self-Esteem. Resilience
Summer workshops.
Worried about your child transitioning back to school? We can support your child to build confidence and emotional resilience through fun and engaging workshops.
This summer, Catherine (Clinical Psychologist) and Jude (Speech & Drama Teacher / Voice coach) will be running specialist summer workshops to give children a step up in their journey to becoming resilient, emotionally intelligent and confident young adults.
Catherine and Jude are passionate about teaching “life skills” to support young people to thrive at school and beyond. Children and young people need to learn about how to manage their feelings and emotions and how to interact with those around them. Something that is even more significant this year to help children to return to school with confidence.
Each person will have a forum to reflect on “lockdown” and schooling so far and focus on starting school well.
To ensure we can give adequate attention and young people feel confident to share we will keep groups small. We will be following strict COVID-19 government guidelines and ensuring a 2-metre distance, hosting groups outside. This will have the added benefit of enhancing young people’s creativity and connection to nature for well-being.
Young people will have the opportunity to work 1:1 and within small groups, through a series of interactive and creative workshops to prepare them for school and teach skills for managing mental well-being into adolescence.
Starting & Returning to school: Parents online workshop for reception - year 3 children.
When: 1st September 2020 7.30 - 9 pm
This webinar is aimed to support parents to understand the emotional and developmental changes taking place for a child at this time. We hope to equip parents with the skills and knowledge to support children through the transition into school.
We will cover:
- Your child’s developing brain and the effect this has on behaviour
- Preparing your child for school
- Managing any worries for your child
- Changes in behaviour - what to expect and ideas to try
There will also be time at the end to take questions and have a group discussion on any topics or concerns.
