GROWING PAINS
Starting school or going into a new year can cause stress and fear. But children are unable to draw on past experiences to help them cope and that, coupled with a lack of control, means they handle change differently from adults.
To support your youngster through this, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi has written Help Your Child with Change, featuring easy-to-implement tips that will help them navigate through their feelings of uncertainty.
Aimed at children from five to 16 years old, it has detailed chapters on moving schools, building resilience and improving your family’s wellbeing, as well as advice on managing other life events such as parents divorcing, moving home and grief.
