SCHOOL SEES “FINE” / HOME SEES THE STRUGGLE

School says your child is settled, coping and making progress. But at home, you see exhaustion, homework tears, withdrawal or worry about tomorrow. How do you make sense of these different pictures? A school report, a parent’s concern and a child’s own account all offer useful information. This video explores how to bring those perspectives together and turn a difficult conversation into a practical support plan. We cover: Why children may experience school and home differently Why “fine” is an observation, not the whole conclusion The CHILD framework: Centre the child, Hear each view, Identify barriers, Link to support, Decide and review How to record useful observations for one week Words you can use when speaking with school When to seek additional professional support You do not need to have every answer before asking for help. Start with your child’s experience, identify one barrier, try one support and agree a review date. If this video helps, share it with a parent, carer or educator who needs a gentler way into this conversation. This video provides general educational information, not an individual assessment or diagnosis. If someone’s safety is at immediate risk, contact the appropriate local emergency or crisis service. #Parenting #SchoolSupport #ChildWellbeing
