Emotional support at home - Q&A ‘ask the expert’ discussion session

Self-esteem issues are common when you are finding school hard, even the most sociable, happy child who loves school can start to say they don’t want to go in; show signs of anxiety or perhaps just not be their ‘normal’ self. It may be that you notice a change in their habits or routines, things that they once loved to do they are no longer interested in or perhaps they are using a ‘baby’ voice.

With mental ill health on the rise and starting earlier it can be hard to know what to do to help. Services and support that were once available are becoming overstretched and it is often hard to how best to support especially when you are feeling overwhelmed yourself.

Understanding Maths Anxiety

Understanding maths anxiety: What it is, how it works, and what we can do about it.

Maths anxiety is associated with reduced attainment and avoidance that can ultimately define career decisions and opportunities. But we’re still developing our understanding of how and why this develops. Research suggests that this can be grounded in initial experiences with maths, and in some cases, children’s performance starts to decline from as early as 4 years of age
