Big Changes, Big Feelings: Supporting Young People Through Summer and Into the New School Year

The summer holidays can bring excitement and freedom, but for some children and families, this period can also bring anxiety, uncertainty and challenges. Changes in routine, friendship dynamics, balancing work and family life, and thoughts about starting school again in September can often lead to increased stress, emotional outbursts and difficulties at home.

Join Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr Daniel Weisberg for a practical webinar exploring how parents can support children through periods of change and help them enjoy a calmer summer whilst building confidence for the new school year.

The session will help parents understand anxiety and emotional wellbeing, manage big feelings and behavioural changes, balance routine and flexibility, support friendships and social confidence, prepare for a new class, teacher, year group or school, and support neurodivergent children through transitions and changes in routine.

This webinar is primarily aimed at parents and carers of primary and secondary-aged children, but will also be valuable for teaching staff and anyone who works with children and young people.
