Raising Confident Kids with SEN - New Episode Alert! Listen to the entire episode here: https://lnkd.in/ennBqT-s As we continue our journey on the podcast "Raising Confident Kids with SEN," Episode 5: Post Pick-Up Slump delivers some powerful insights. In this episode I discuss the challenges children with SEN often face after their school day ends, and how we as parents can support their transition from school to home. Here are 3 key takeaways for parents and educators: Decompression is Crucial: - Recognise the need for downtime. After a structured school day, children need opportunities to decompress and release pent-up emotions. Activities or quiet time can make a significant difference in their well-being. Understand Their Emotional Language: - Sometimes children struggle to articulate their feelings. Tools like the My Mood Stars can aid in fostering communication. Model the language they can use to describe their experiences, which can be a building block for their emotional literacy. Check the Basics - Hunger and Over-Scheduling: - A simple thing like hunger can be the root of the after-school slump. A nutritious snack might be what they need to bounce back. Simultaneously, assess if the child’s weekly schedule is too packed and causing unnecessary stress. Listen to the entire episode for an in-depth discussion and more valuable insights on supporting kids with SEN through the post pick-up slump: https://lnkd.in/ennBqT-s #SpecialEducation #ParentingTips #EmotionalRegulation #SEN #PodcastHighlights
