Back to School

September can be a month of mixed feelings for many parents and children. Some children might feel excitement about being back to school and seeing friends, whilst for others it’s a time of uncertainty, anxiety and overwhelm. And parents will also feel the impact of their child’s relationship to school.

If your child struggles with mainstream school, I strongly recommend checking out Dr Naomi Fisher https://naomifisher.co.uk. Naomi Fisher is a Psychologist, specialising in alternatives to education for neurodiverse young people. Her website contains links to courses and information that can help you navigate the stress of a mainstream education system.

She’s also written books “What Can We Do When School’s Not Working?” and “The Teenager's Guide to Burnout Finding the Road to Recovery”.
