Help your child feel more prepared (and less anxious) about starting secondary school

Worried about how your child will cope with the move to secondary school? 

 

Starting a new school can feel huge for children—especially those who already find school difficult.


That’s why I’ve created this simple, free resource to help you support them through it.

 

Download your free "What if" worry buster.

This gives you a set of real-life "what if" scenarios you can talk through with your child in advance of starting secondary school so that they can:

  • Feel more confident about how to handle tricky situations. 
  • Be less likely to spiral into anxious thinking. 
  • Build problem-solving skills before they even step through the school gates. 
  • Reduce the fear of the unknown by having a plan.
