Starting school and the big feelings that come along with it by Shelley Clarke

Continuing on form last week's episode, listen as Shelley shares the tools to helps support your kids (and you) to navigate the big feelings that come up at the start of a school year... whether it's kindy, reception or transitioning into high school. Shelley shares a personal family story so we can better understand what it means to hold space for our kids and meet the feelings underneath the behaviours they may be displaying.
In this episode you'll learn about:
- How to deal with the activation that can come up in your body as a parent
- Why it is so important to give yourself compassion for the unseen work of parenting
- How unenjoyable behaviour is really a big red flag that your child needs support to process their big feelings
- Why the withdrawn behaviour is just as alarming as the outwardly unenjoyable behaviour
- Evidence of how parenting this way can help your children develop their awareness and capacity
If you want to support your child for a connected transition to school, then this is the podcast episode for you!
