Starting school

We didn’t realise quite how much there was to talk about on this topic until we pressed record...this includes: 


  • How our own experiences effect our feelings about children starting school. 
  • Some things to think about before they start (things like ‘can they open their lunchbox’ for example can be practiced by having picnics over the summer) 
  • Emotions – a mix of emotions are completely natural and why it’s important not to worry if your little one doesn’t always feel happy about starting school. 
  • Being brave! What you can do to become a part of the school community. 
  • The first day - at the start of the day and at the end (don’t underestimate how tired they will be!) 
  • Some things you can do to get your little one to talk about their day (although we can’t guarantee they will work!!).

About the Podcast

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
