When supporting a child, we involve the whole family to ensure they receive the right support for them.

For the following family, that included one-to-one support for their child, alongside parent support sessions. Here’s what they had to say about their experience…

Look at these fantastic Junk Models created by young people on a recent Heart to Heart course!

There’s no theme and no right or wrong — children choose what they want to make and which materials to use, while parents give them their full attention and let them lead.

It’s about building attunement, noticing when a child may be finding something difficult, and reflecting back what we see and hear. Parents only step in to help when the child asks, following their lead.

Simple projects like this can give children the freedom to create, explore and be heard ❤️

A useful resource for those with Secondary School aged children...

Starting secondary school can be a time of uncertainty. It’s normal for children to go from feeling happy and confident one minute, to feeling nervous or anxious the next.

As a parent or carer, here are just a few things you may be able to do to help your child to find their feet during this transition.

Here are just a few things to remember when supporting your child:

🩷 Exploring

Encourage your child to explore their thoughts and feelings. Let them know they can talk openly about their feelings, both positive and negative.

"What are you looking forward to?"

"Are you worried about anything?"

🩷 Empowering your child

Building your child’s independence and confidence will help them with the transition.

Give your child lots of praise when you notice things they're doing well. The greatest source of strength for any child going through change is knowing that they can fall back on the love and support of their loved ones.

🩷 You don't have to have all the answers

Find out what the school is doing to support the transition to secondary.

Ask if there is school counselling if your child is struggling, or other support in your area.

And be there for yourself, too. There are more resources for parents and carers on our Mentally Healthy Schools website.

What do you think can be helpful from parents - or any trusted adults?
