The jump between primary and secondary school marks one of the biggest transitions in a student s life. It s the point at which a child leaves the relatively safe cocoon of childhood and enters the wide world of adolescence. For both parents and their children, it can be a huge shock, as they encounter a minefield of serious issues to deal with everything from peer and study pressures to phones, parties and beyond. In this invaluable resource for families, bestselling authors Michael Carr-Gregg and Sharon Witt provide all the tools and information you need for entering this turbulent and testing time. With warmth and wisdom, they offer latest advice on the following: - Choosing the right school for you; - Settling into secondary school; - Homework, study tips and tricks; - Coping with stress, anxiety and depression; - Social issues such as bullying and friendships; - Health and wellbeing, including the importance of sleep and diet; - Latest advice on mobile phones and technology. Starting secondary school is a whole lot more complex than it once was, but this invaluable resource will help your family face this major milestone armed with knowledge and confidence. |
