Who Is This For?

Does any of the following sound familiar?

Then you won't want to miss this FREE training.  

"School tells me they're fine when they're in - but at home my child is falling apart."

Maybe your child finds it hard to explain what’s really going on and they mask how they feel at school - but it all spills out at home. You know something's wrong but school staff don't see it. The result? You feel frustrated and unheard and your child isn't getting the support they need. 

"Everyone's focusing on just getting them into school, but this doesn't seem to make things any better."

And maybe it seems to be making things worse!  Encouraging your child to "face their fears" doesn't seem to reduce their worry - but you're not sure what else to do apart from take them out of school. 

"My child has a support plan but it doesn't seem to be working."

Goals seem unachievable and irrelevant. Maybe the focus is on getting your child into school without addressing any of the other issues that underlie your child's worries.  Nothing seems to make a difference and things are feeling stuck. 

You don't need to force your child into school to make progress. You need understanding and a plan. This masterclass will give you that starting point.

A NOTE FROM...

NICKY ODGERS

Hi, I’m Nicky. I’m an independent Educational Psychologist based in Cambridge (UK) and the founder of School Anxiety Support.

I’ve spent many years helping children and families understand why school feels difficult and what support can make a difference.

Previously, as a Senior Educational Psychologist in a Local Authority, I led a multi-professional group developing guidance on school anxiety. I also have extensive experience assessing children who struggle at school, including autistic children and those with ADHD, and providing training to parents and school staff on anxiety and emotional wellbeing.

In this webinar, I’ll share practical, evidence-informed guidance to help you better understand your child’s difficulties and work out what might help.

Have Questions? I've got answers!

 

WHAT AGE RANGE ARE YOU GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT?

This talk is most relevant for children aged between 7 and 16 but if your child is older or younger than this, lots will still be useful.

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MY CHILD HAS AUTISM AND / OR ADHD. IS THIS MASTERCLASS STILL RELEVANT?

Absolutely!  Research has shown that neurodiversity plays a really important role in school anxiety and many children only get diagnosed after they start to struggle at school.

 

________________________________________________________________________________

I'M PRETTY SURE MY CHILD ISN'T NEURODIVERSE. WILL I LEARN ANYTHING FROM COMING ALONG?

Yes you will! Children can be worried about school for many and varied reasons - not just because they are neurodiverse. This masterclass will give you a framework to help understand what might be going on and how to support your child, whatever underlies their anxiety. 

 

 ________________________________________________________________________________

MY CHILD ISN'T ATTENDING SCHOOL AT THE MOMENT AND I CAN'T SEE THEM GOING BACK IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. IS IT WORTH ME ATTENDING?

Even if your child isn't able to go to school at the moment, it can still be helpful to understand why school felt so difficult, as many of those challenges may show up in other areas of life too. Creating a plan to gently support your child to build skills—such as recognising their strengths, understanding their sensory needs, or developing emotional regulation skills—can still make a meaningful difference, wherever they are.
