Schools advice

For parents, particularly in London, their children’s education is one of the most prevalent causes of stress. Whether that is choosing the right school, preparing for the myriad of exams at different entry points, or dealing with issues that arise at school.

Likewise, for children in this highly competitive environment, there can be negative side effects associated with exam pressure, or simply ‘fitting in’ at school.

Children’s education can be made all the more stressful if there is a learning difficulty, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or Aspergers. In this case, parents also have a very important ‘advocate’ role to play to ensure schools do all that is possible to help children reach their potential. Technology is now playing a huge and important role in helping these young people work to their maximum potential. For senior, and some junior schools, it is a given that a percentage of pupils will require adaptations. Ann and her team can provide advice on the various approaches.

Another major concern for families is the unfortunate occurrence of bullying in schools. This can impact not just the child, but the whole family. Ann has helped many families confront the issues stemming from bullying.
