Helping your child through School Transitions

Let's All Talk Mental Health
45:57
Dr. Sarah-Jane Knight joins us to explore how parents can support teens through key educational transitions in 2025, including moves into Year 7, Year 9, Sixth Form, or College.
She’ll talk about how to support them through these changes, how to relax routines over the summer holidays while still keeping a sense of structure, how to let them enjoy some independence while staying safe, and how to help them feel ready to go back to school or college in September.
