“I hate school.”
Sometimes, those three words aren't really about school at all.
It might be a friendship that's changed, a fear of getting something wrong or simply feeling overwhelmed by the school day.
Instead of jumping straight to reassurance, try getting curious.
“What's the hardest part of your day?”
Is there a time at school you wish you could skip?”
“When do you feel happiest at school?”
Sometimes, understanding the little things can help us make sense of the big feelings.
Save this for the next time “I hate school” comes up at your place.
