It’s hard to believe that the term is nearly over. Holidays are only a couple of weeks away. Some of us are finding that we have just settled into a routine and then the holidays will be upon us again. On the other hand, some of us are ready for the holidays to roll round, so we can have a bit of a rest. 

Some days it may be hard to get out of bed because we are warm and cosy. To help overcome the challenge of getting your daughter moving in the morning, there are a range of strategies listed below.

• Give encouragement. Letting your daughter know that she is loved and capable, will help improve her self-confidence and willingness to go to school.
• Actively listening to her when she talks about her day and what is going on for her at school.
• Ask your daughter what she is learning in class and draw links between what they are learning and how this may apply in the world of work.
• Ask your daughter if she needs any help with her homework, and be involved where you can.
• Stay positive and negotiate resolutions. 

If, when chatting with your daughter, you become concerned about anything, please contact her Pastoral Care Teacher or House Leader and we will work together to find ways to overcome any challenges.
