7 Quick Wins for Morning School Anxiety - Webinar Recording

Thanks to everyone who joined this webinar which I hope will be the first of many. I promised to make the recording available for those of you who couldn't make it, so here it is. I really hope you find it helpful. [Notes and slides here:   / recording-7-wins-139734064   ] 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟳 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱:   1. The "2-Minute Rule" - wait before intervening when pupils arrive distressed   2. Use your voice as a thermostat - lower volume and slower pace with anxious children   3. Flexible arrival options - alternative entrances to avoid morning overwhelm   4. How to spot anxiety vs overwhelm in 10 seconds (they need completely different responses!)   5. Discrete check-ins - age-appropriate ways for pupils to communicate without drawing attention   6. The "Morning Buffer" conversation - working backwards to find the real trigger point   7. Normalise "practice rounds" - frame difficulties as learning, not failure This was aimed at teachers, TAs, school leaders, and anyone supporting children who struggle with morning transitions. The response was brilliant, it was lovely to have so many of you there. If you attended and want to share this with colleagues who missed it, please do. And if you're new to this, welcome!
