Transition
 Whether you have a pre-schooler who is starting reception or a primary school child moving on to secondary, this time of year can be both exciting and unsettling.
The Solihull Approach has developed a range of video resources to support the conversations you may wish to have with your child about how they are feeling and what might be worrying them.
These resources are free for all parents and can be accessed at the link below:
