School can feel like A LOT, especially during the first few weeks. Supporting Self-Advocacy & Regulation Skills at School is a great way to help your child feel successful during the transition.
When children feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure of what to do, they may communicate this through their behaviour or other forms of communication. We can support them by helping them notice what they are feeling, recognize what their body needs, and learn how to communicate those needs in safe and effective ways.
Sometimes the message is:
💬 “I need help.”
💬 “This is too much.”
💬 “I don’t understand.”
💬 “I need a break.”
