Resistance can be a sign of anxiety. So many children are saying no right now, whilst their parents tear their hair out. We’re in the middle of the most anxiety-provoking time globally our children (and us!) have ever experienced. Many children are hyper-aroused, and they show this with anger and resistance. If parents react with anger, then the child becomes even more anxious and more resistant. 

‘Managing Anger’ is one of the Autism Seminars for Families which provides information and advice to parents and carers of children and young people with autism.

At this time of year, we usually warmly welcome parents through our doors, to show off our school, present our staff and proudly introduce our children. St. Stephen's is the only local primary school in this area in the England's Top 100 Primary Schools and we would love to be able to show you why that is.

With constantly updated guidelines and a host of changes to procedure, it's hard to know what to do if you or your child is unwell. Please see below for an 'at-a-glance' list of what we need you to do - and what we will be doing - to keep our children safe. 

Our newsletters has been adapted to fit our new set of circumstances, and we thought it fitting to start a new Home Schooling version which will showcase all the marvellous things going on in our new online community.
