We know that starting school is a huge event for children and parents and we want to share some practical skills and tips to make this transition as smooth as possible.
We have run this series of talks for many years now and 100% of parents would recommend them to another parent.
Parents who attended told us:
“The session was so useful, easy to understand, follow and funny”
“It made me realise that my child’s behaviour at the moment is normal”
“A very helpful talk. It’s given me things to consider over the summer”
“It gave me insight into understanding my child and what goes on in her brain”
Our Starting school talk looks at:
* What is normal emotional and physical development for your child at this age?
*What makes them all different?
*What can you do to help prepare them for school?
* Managing separation anxiety- looking at what helps and what doesn't help.
The talk is supported by a new and updated Starting Primary School resource pack which is available from our online shop www.standinginthegap.uk/shop.
Standing in the Gap is an early intervention mental health charity helping pre-school and primary aged children manage the big emotions of fear, anxiety, anger and grief.
The session will be live via MS Teams, please book 1 ticket per family group- parents/carers/grandparents only. We will email you all the links and information in preparation for the session a few days before teh talk, please do check your junk mail for emails from @standinginthegap.uk
We are a small charity and receive no government funding. If you are able to make a donation to help us support children it will make a difference- thank you.
Our mission is to build emotional well-being in children by providing tools and support to children, families and professionals.
