Children’s Activity: Back to School Plan
Back to School
The return to school is always met with a mixture of excitement, nerves and uncertainty. This can mean that we become caught in our fight or flight mode, and struggle to think logically. Having a plan can help children to feel back in control, as well as validate their feelings and support effective communication between the caregivers and educators working with them. We’re sharing a simple plan that you can put into place with children:
