School Struggles, Presented by Carrie Meadows

Are your kids struggling with school?

Do they complain on school mornings, or when you’re tucking them in at night?

Do you hear ‘School’s boring or I can’t stand my teacher or I don’t have any friends’

Are you noticing Friendship fallouts, do you have questions about whether school is supporting your child with the right level of work?

Are you concerned about their anxiety or shyness?

This is all a lot for us parents to manage on top of the day-to-day, we just want our kids to be ok.

It is likely that your kids are not able to put this all into words and are displaying difficult behaviour or tears and anxiety. They could also be withdrawn and not engaging.

It might be homework struggles or getting uniform on and leaving on time in the mornings. Or grumpy, quiet or cross and angry at pick up.

Are you stuck or wondering how best to support them?

Feeling frustrated that they should have settled by now, or that school doesn’t seem to be concerned or is unable to offer much help?

Our kids struggle with being happy in school for many reasons. We want them to thrive in their education, in friendships and in relationships with school staff.

How can we help them?
