Back to School with The HOW People
We think we can all agree that it doesn’t matter how many years ago you left education, we still get that same uneasy feeling of nervousness and excitement every year around this time - but why is that?
Well, for around 14 years and beyond, every September we pushed our vulnerable selves into a new situation, a new group of people and a new year of unknowns.
Sometimes it went well, sometimes it really didn't, and sometimes we may have encountered life-changing friendship shifts.
This was bound to have a lasting effect on us.
September is a bit like the start of a New Year for parents.
New routines.
New commitments.
But with out the pressure of keeping to New Year resolutions.
We’ve pulled together some useful resources below to help make this time a little easier for the young people around us and give us some resources to use to support them.
WATCH
What if no one talks to me?
Will they still be my friend?
What if I don’t get to sit next...
Back to school worry for parents
Are you worried about your kids?
Join the club.
Grab some paper and a pen and jot down 3 vertical columns.
Column one
Write down what's worrying you.
Specifics please, no waffle…
Column two
For now leave blank.
Column three
Write down what it is you want to be better.
So, what does it look like when it’s fixed? Or, if you achieved everything in this column as you’ve written it, would you be calm and happy again?
Done?
Go back to your 2nd column.
This is your to do list.
What is in your control to do something about it to solve it?
What can you do today, now, that gets you there?
