It's that time of the year again, Back To School!

Helping your child head back to school can bring up a lot of big feelings for everyone at home. 🎒

New teachers, different classrooms, and early starts can feel like a huge adjustment!

Here are some simple Ways to Help Your Child Adjust:

* Establish a gentle routine: Start bedtimes and morning routines a bit earlier to avoid a frantic rush. A predictable start to the day lowers anxiety for both of you. ⏰

* Listen without fixing: Ask open questions like "What was the best or most surprising part of your day?" Give them space to have a good vent without jumping straight in to solve every problem. 🎧

* Keep drop-offs brief: Long goodbyes can make separation anxiety harder. A confident hug, a cheerful "Have a brilliant day!", and a swift exit give your child real confidence. 🤗

* Create a calm landing zone: After-school meltdowns are very common because children hold their emotions together all day. Offer a drink or a snack and some space before asking about homework. 🍏

Transitions take time, and a few bumpy days are completely normal. 💛

If your child is struggling with persistent anxiety or finding the return to school difficult, I can help you navigate it together.

📩 Send me a direct message to find out more about my child and family support sessions.

🎒 **New Home-Ed Wellbeing & Connection Groups Starting this October! (Seeking Your Input)

Hi everyone!

I’m Tracey, a qualified, registered Counsellor based in Goole and I’m planning to launch some fun, supportive social-emotional wellbeing groups for home-educated children starting this October.

The sessions will be held weekly at the (venue tbc) and are designed to be low-pressure, engaging, and therapeutic. I want to help children build confidence, explore their emotions, and make friends through creative arts, mindfulness games, and teamwork challenges.

Because I want to make sure these groups perfectly serve your local home-ed community, I’d love to get your thoughts!

👉 I’m looking at running two different styles:

⭐ Creative Coping & Mindfulness (Ages 5–9): Using clay, crafts, and sensory games to explore big feelings and calm down techniques.

⭐ The Connection Club (Ages 10–14): A relaxed space focused on social skills, building peer relationships, teamwork, and navigating boundaries.

The Details:

🗓️ When: Weekly from October (Day/Time tbc based on your preferences!)

💰 Cost: Around £6-8 per child per session (to cover hall hire and resources).

I'm really interested to know what you think?

Would your child/teen be interested in something like this? If so, please drop a comment below with the age of your child and which group appeals to you most. If we get enough interest, I’ll open up a waiting list for a taster session!

Thank you so much,
Tracey

(Feel free to send me a DM if you have any questions about my qualifications or what the sessions involve!)

PS. I am a qualified SENDCO and have an enhanced DBS 😊

👉 Big feelings need calm adults 👈

When children are overwhelmed, they're not giving us a hard time—they're having a hard time.

Our calm can become their calm.

Before trying to solve the problem:

🌿 Slow your own breathing.
🌿 Lower your voice.
🌿 Get down to their eye level.
🌿 Let them know they're safe.
🌿 Remember that connection comes before correction.

Children learn emotional regulation from the adults around them.

Every calm response helps build their emotional toolkit for the future.

💚 Which calming strategies work best for your family?

👉 When reassurance becomes part of the problem 👈

It's completely natural to reassure your child when they're anxious.

But if they ask the same question over and over…

"Are you sure?"
"What if...?"
"Will I be okay?"
..constant reassurance can accidentally keep anxiety going.

Instead, you might say:
💬 "I know your worry is asking that question again."
💬 "Let's think about what happened last time."
💬 "What do you think your brave brain would say?"

The goal isn't to remove every worry.

It's to help children learn they can cope—even when they're uncertain.

Confidence grows through experience, not certainty.

❤️ Anxiety wants certainty. Life doesn't always provide it. Resilience comes from learning we can handle the unknown.

I use lots of craft activities when I'm working with children and one of my young clients has been making this during our sessions.

We talked about emotions and what it meant to them and they said kindness, helping others and best of all they said that it made them feel 'happy' ☺️
