With schools being off limits for the majority of children and young people, and school being so different for those who were able to go, transition into a new school year, and especially for those who haven’t been at school for months is going to be tricky.
As grown-ups we can help those younger than us to make the move (whether it’s returning to school, or moving to a new school) well, and help them to process the changes they’re going to go through, especially in our slightly unusual circumstances, September 2020.
Lockdown, what a strange time… even now it’s easing slightly, everything that we knew as normal has been completely turned on it’s head. We are restricted on who we can see, when and how we can see them, as well as being restricted on what we do and even how we do it! There are some simple things we can do in the home to help each other make it through this time and make it through well.
