7 THINGS TO REMEMBER THIS SEPTEMBER
For some children, especially those with SEND, returning to school can be a BIG transition.
So as September approaches, remember:
1️⃣ Connection before correction.
2️⃣ Big feelings are communication.
3️⃣ Transitions can take time.
4️⃣ Sensory overload is real.
5️⃣ Friendships can be complicated.
6️⃣ A difficult morning doesn't mean a difficult year.
7️⃣ Progress doesn't have to look like everyone else's.
Give them time.
Give them reassurance.
Give them a safe space to come back to.
And remember to give yourself some kindness too, you don't have to have everything figured out on day one.
