Moving up! The transition to primary or secondary school

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 12:39:48 GMT

If your child has started at a new school this September and your life has gone into meltdown, then this episode is going to be essential to you.

My last episode was about helping a child transition back to school from the summer holidays, but I know if your child is going through a new transition phase (that’s education tech speak for moving up an education level) then there can be very specific and intense difficulties. And they can go on well beyond day 1 or even week 1. So I want to provide you with some ideas on how you can manage things – because what happens in these first few weeks can make or break the entire year.

Helping your autistic child with back to school anxiety

Wed, 14 Aug 2024 06:00:02 GMT

Sending your kid back to school can sometimes feel like sending them to a war zone. And for some, their nervous system will react as strongly as if that were actually happening, because the brain of a child with PTSD from school is not. much different from the brain of a veteran with PTSD from war. But PTSD and other anxiety conditions are not permanent states, and there is a lot parents can do to heal our kids’ educational wounds.

9 childhood autistic traits in girls

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 06:00:24 GMT

For generations, autism has been seen as a boy thing. which has come at a huge cost for girls. It’s estimated that twice as many girls may have autism than are currently diagnosed, but they are being missed because they are present differently. This gender bias in diagnosing has resulted in huge mental health issues for girls. So this week we are going to strip away the stereotypes and look at how autism shows up in girls.

How to manage your emotions and get your autistic child to sleep

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 13:56:38 GMT

I thought sleep issues were something you only had with newborns. When my daughter was six and still struggling, I realise how very wrong I was.
