Changes to routine, new classroom learning, navigating friendships... the start of term can bring lots of changes and lots of feelings for children. Supporting your child who may be feeling anxious about school begins with understanding their world.
Our taster pathway 'Understanding your child's feelings' can support you to recognise what your child might be feeling and gives you confidence to know how to respond.
A pathway designed for busy parents for when it's not so easy. Find out more in the comments.

Understanding your child’s feelings is important for all parents, carers, grandparents and other family members. Along this pathway, you will learn how relationships shape emotional health and wellbeing, while finding space to reflect on your child’s feelings as well as your own.
In this short, taster pathway, you will follow bitesize content with resources that you can tailor to your child’s developmental age. Our clinical child psychologists, psychotherapists and health practitioners will introduce you to ideas and techniques to help you understand your child’s feelings and behaviour to nurture them.
Parents who have completed the pathway have shared that they feel more confident with interpreting their child’s behaviour, feel more connected with their children and are able to create a reflective space when observing many different emotions.
