The children were enjoying capturing images of the snow in the nature nook today. Whilst introducing the Guinea pigs to their first look at a snowball. They certainly enjoyed the new toys that one of the children kindly donated to them.

From the contented child social media page:

Following on from our last two posts about emotional preparation and Sunday resets, this is the next piece of the puzzle.

For many families, the hardest part of the school day isn’t the learning — it’s the goodbye.

This visual explains why goodbyes can feel so intense, especially when separation anxiety is present, and how a clear, predictable goodbye plan can help mornings feel safer for children and parents.

If drop-offs leave you feeling upset, guilty, or torn, please know this:
hard goodbyes are not a sign you’re doing something wrong — they’re a sign of strong attachment.

There will be further posts on separation anxiety today.

👉 A free extended Goodbye Plan download is available.
All instructions to access it are included in the visual.

ALSO see our post on 3 Good Things (free download) which is a great ongoing strategy to build a child's confidence and self-esteem.

Save this, share it with someone who needs it, and go gently with yourselves this week.
