About this collection

A friendship that ends at the school gate, a tummy ache every Monday, a child who says someone is being mean to them: when your child is small, any of these can take over the whole evening. It's hard to know whether to step in or stand back.

These courses give you calm, practical ways to help. You'll find out why protecting a child from everything that scares them can make anxiety grow, and what builds their confidence instead. There's a simple test for telling teasing from bullying, if-then plans for a child starting a new school, and ideas for bringing more closeness into a busy week.

You matter here too, so you'll also learn to work with your child's school and to look after yourself without feeling guilty.
