If you’re looking for information about supporting the health and wellbeing of your young person, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve collated a number of links to organisations and information that can help.
Making Informed Decisions
FAQs
We know the transition from school to post-16 education (college, sixth form, an apprenticeship, or another form of training) can be a bit daunting and that you and your young person might have lots of questions. That’s why we’ve answered a selection of frequently asked questions to help put your mind at ease. They’re written with young people in mind, but we hope they’ll be useful for parents/carers too!
Supporting Your Young Person’s Learning
Parentkind have collated lots of resources, tips and advice from across their partner organisations to help you support your young person’s learning, whatever their age and interest, at home or school.
If your child/children are finding school and learning difficult, these pre-recorded and interactive workshops might just help. You can complete them at home at a time that suits you best. Delivered by Kerry Brown (Teacher, Coach and Author), you’ll:
– Explore why your child/children might be finding learning difficult
– Develop an understanding that intelligence isn’t fixed, but rather can change
-Learn about strategies that can help inspire and motivate your child/children
Kerry has recorded two versions of the ‘Mindset Matters’ workshop; one for parents/carers of children who are primary age, and one for parents/carers of children who are secondary age. Just click below to access the relevant video for your child/children. Once you can see the video, click on the ‘play’ button in the centre of the box to begin.
