Supporting your child through divorce or separation

As with everything in life ‘honesty is the best policy’ even when they conversations that have to be had, can be difficult and upsetting ones.

Below is a list of websites and pages that can help support your family through difficult times of change. Information in these resources, will help with how to broach the subject of divorce or separation with your child(ren), in a way which will support them to understand what these changes may mean for them whilst also guiding you in how to create a safe space for your child(ren) to work through and process their emotions.

If you require any further support or would like to talk through any of the information you have found on this page, please remember our Family Champions Kady Morrow & Karen Anderson are always available in centre to offer an ear and share a cuppa.

Supporting Transition

As your children prepare to embark on their next big adventure, it is important to us that we give them the best possible start, sending them on their way feeling confident, secure and excited for the journey.

Over the past few weeks we have been gently touching more and more on the transitional aspect of this, offering children the opportunity to explore what school may be like, through discussion and play. We even had a playground visit from a real Primary 1 teacher!!

The coming weeks will see this become the main focus of your child’s learning journey. We will support them emotionally for this, creating a space where they can be exposed to different aspects of school life, ask questions and build their confidence, enabling them to independently take the big step from Nursery life to School.

As with everything there will be plenty of opportunity for your children to explore this through play experiences… so please fully expect your children to be bringing you the homework, as they transform from pre-schooler to ‘the teacher’ overnight.

It is essential for your child’s well-being that we work together during this period to ensure your child’s transition to school is as smooth as possible. If your child mentions anything they are worried or excited about then please let us know. This will enable us to address your child’s individual concerns or interests.
