Change & Transitions: Back to School and Beyond!

September brings so many changes and transitions for the family to get used to - and not just the little ones! For them, though, it can be quite a big adjustment from the relative freedom of summer to routine in autumn. 

Perhaps it's Big School for the first time, maybe a change of classroom, teacher or expectations. Perhaps there is a move to a different school and the loss of friendship groups. Even for older children or teens, this can be a challenging adjustment -  huge, for their first look at an apprenticeship, student life or work. 

In this episode, we look at some gentle ways of easing the stress and challenges of transitioning from one time to another. Finding ways to help our young ones to cope with the changes that are inevitable in our lives and equip them with the courage, confidence and skills to make it through.  

Some of the ideas may well translate into helping us big people too!
