Having a 'bad attitude' or throwing tantrums straight after school can be common during the first few weeks of a new term.
Described as an “after-school restraint collapse” by psychotherapist Andrea Nair, this can occur when children get back to their safe space and are able to express they may have been holding-in all day.
Below are some coping techniques that you might find useful.
Odiri Tax Consultants & Accountants have given a therapeutic lifeline to disabled children in Peterborough and beyond thanks to their amazing Team 500KM Walk Challenge For Disabled Children. In the months of June and July 2021, the team has managed to raise an incredible £3048 and they're not done yet - they're coming into the final two weeks of their challenge and they need your support to meet their £5000 target. This generous donation will pay for over 300 one to one play sessions for children like Libby.
Libby has Bohring Optiz Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the individual's growth and development. Libby’s mum, Kirsty, told us: “Both Libby & myself enjoyed our one to one play sessions at Little miracles. We felt relaxed, safe & at ease which was a huge relief after so long shielding & worrying about COVID. A fantastic range of play suited specifically for Libby’s needs, sensory stories, messy play, music & singing & our personal favourite sensory massage. I learned so many new techniques & skills to enable me to engage more with Libby when playing together. Exploring with the sensory stories was amazing, seeing Libby react in even the smallest of ways was such a joy & the excitement but also calmness in her expressions during sensory massage was heartwarming.”
Sensory circuits is a sensory programme designed to help children/young people to achieve the right level of alertness to improve concentration and to develop the child's sensory processing abilities.
