• Menu week commencing 15th Sept

  Mon 15 Sep 2025
  

• Parent Page

  Fri 12 Sep 2025

  As children move from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2, they often face a number of changes—new routines, increased expectations, and a more structured learning environment. This step up can feel exciting but also a little daunting for some pupils, especially as they adjust to greater         independence and new social dynamics. Supporting their emotional  wellbeing during this time is key to helping them settle in and thrive.

   

  Below are five simple strategies you might like to share with parents to help them support their child at home:

   

  Talk About the Day: Encourage parents to ask open-ended questions like “What made you smile today?” or “Was anything tricky?” to help   children process their experiences and emotions.

   

  Keep Routines Predictable: A consistent morning and evening   routine can help children feel secure and prepared for the day ahead. Visual schedules at home can also be reassuring.

   

  Celebrate Effort, Not Just Achievement: Remind parents to praise their child’s effort and resilience, especially when they try something new or overcome a challenge.

   

  Create a Calm Space: Suggest setting up a quiet corner at home where children can go to relax, read, or take a break when they feel overwhelmed.

   

  Model Positive Coping Strategies: Parents can help by showing how they manage stress or disappointment—whether it’s through deep breathing, talking things through, or taking a walk.

   

  Changes in routines and worry about new expectations can make it tricky for children to sleep. I have also included a sleep resource that can be shared with parents which looks at regulation for bedtimes.

   

  Around 4 in 10 children will experience a sleep problem at some point and this rises to 8 out of 10 children where there is a diagnosis of   Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). These problems are   typically persistent and do not resolve themselves without intervention.  Find out more, including how to help by going to: Children’s Sleep eBook - The Sleep Charity
