🎆 Here's a big reminder for you SEND parents & professionals as we head into 2025... Did you need it? 🎆

As the Christmas holidays come to a close, recognising whether the 'SCHOOL CLIMATE' is meeting the needs of your child is really important. It will help in unpicking the reasons why a child may struggle to attend school; something that so many of us will once again be experiencing as schools prepare to reopen in January.

Needing some more guidance with school avoidance? We have SO much help for you - we know how hard it is. So here's everything you need in order to help your child - whether you're a parent or a teacher. 👇

1️⃣ Watch our vast collection of school attendance difficulties webinars and courses here: www.sunshine-support.org/academy
2️⃣ Read our article on School Attendance Difficulties, a great starting point and contains a 3 step approach to helping your child: sunshine-support.org/school-attendance-difficultie…
3️⃣ Find out more about our support services here: sunshine-support.org/advice-and-support/

We are looking forward to supporting you 💛

Our Founder Chrissa will be publishing a series of short videos about the return to school and school avoidance over on her instagram this week too… Follow her on Instagram at SunshineChrissa!

It's too easy to forget how vital it is to have a community to fall back upon.

When we are faced with challenges, too many of us are inclined to isolate ourselves feeling like we need to do it all alone, rather than reaching out to others for support and affirmation.

Having a community who understands you, relates to you, and is going through the same thing is so important and that’s precisely why we hold our Cuppa&Chat sessions. It’s an ideal place to meet people who get it! ☕️

We know it can feel daunting to come along to something like Cuppa&Chat if you’ve not been before but we promise it’s such a welcoming place and we’d love to see you in 2025. 🥰

Here’s a blog post with all the details you need to be able to come along in January: sunshine-support.org/find-your-community-with-suns…

Hello, YouTube community! Here at Sunshine Support, we're exploring 'Your Christmas, Your Way' - let's talk about anxiety, something so many of us suffer with at Christmas. 🎄😥

There’s a whole multitude of reasons why our anxiety spikes in December – changes in routine, the pressure of meeting everyone’s needs, sensory overload, the fact there is so much to remember – the list goes on!

Anxiety also doesn’t know it’s Christmas so sadly, if it’s something you or your children deal with daily it’s not going to go away just because it’s December. 🫂

✨ Here’s our top tips for dealing with anxiety during the festive period... ✨

💛 Keep your normal daily routine and schedule as much as possible even on Christmas Day. This regularity can help to bring calm.
💛 Use a visual calendar or timetable to show what’s coming up – this can help both adults and children who may feel overwhelmed.
💛 Build in rest and decompression time after big events. If you’re seeing wider family then have nothing planned for a couple of days afterwards in order to regulate.

What are your top tips for managing anxiety at Christmas?

Something we've been talking about a lot recently. With more and more school becoming a part of an Academy, what does that mean for the pupils journey and the interactions with parents?
