Childhood Anxiety is a subject that not only teachers need to be aware of, but that you may want to share with parents as well.
Jacci Jones (www.jaccijones.co.uk) was in discussion with Joe from Education Nation.
This discussion was recorded near the start of the Covid-19 pandemic as a response to requests for a once off live webinair that would help people better understand any anxieties or otherwise that they were experiencing.
Although it was never intended to be part of the Education Nation system (as at that time it was expected some type of return to ‘normal’ by the end of Summer 2020) – we’re posting it for all members due to the number of requests we are getting for something similar again.
Looking after your mental wellbeing is not a once off ‘Tick the Box’ course. You need to keep at it, reminding yourself to keep the focus on the fact that you can colour your own worldview and response to what happens.
Jacci is helping to address this by hosting a regular podcast which you can listen to at www.livinglifebeinghuman.co.uk. She also has other resources to help as well as an online support group for anyone who needs it at her website: www.jaccijones.co.uk .

Conflict is inevitable at some stage whenever two or more people live, work, or spend time together.
The main difference between this having a negative impact is on how people approach issues, disagreements, and differences of opinion.
You can’t ‘control’ the other person, but you can control how you respond, and this, in turn can help prevent, or manage a situation that could spiral out of hand.
This briefing covers:
What is ‘Difficult Person’?
What is conflict?
The conflict styles.
How to make conflict productive.
How to choose an approach.
Tips and Traps to avoid.

Once you understand how it works, and how you filter other people’s actions, it helps you in turn, to better understand them.
Once understanding has started, then helping the other person becomes easier.
Our wonderful presenter, Jacci, from Jacci Jones Coaching calls the steps needed to understand all this, an ‘Exploration of Behaviour’.
In this course, Jacci helps us explore the main aspects of behaviour through the following steps:
- Ages and Stages of Development
- Self Esteem
- Drivers of Behaviour
- L.E.A.V.E. Approach
- 3 Principles
We would strongly recommend anyone who is interested in this topic, or as pre-requisite for viewing a follow on topic such as “Challenging Behaviour in the classroom”

[katb_testimonial group=”Communication Passports” number=”all” by=”random” id=”” rotate=”yes” layout=”0″ schema=”default”]
Speech and Language Therapist Marijke Morris outlines what Communication Passports are, how to create them, and why you always need them for children and adolescents with communication difficulties.
If there is ever a ‘Silver Bullet’ item, when done well, that can help teachers, SNAs and family members to work together to ensure a pupil is given the best chance – this is it.
It is best to have the pupil’s family’s help with creating these.

If you are supporting someone with ASD in any school setting, this comprehensive course pack contains all our ASD courses and will help set you up to support your pupil.
While the majority of other courses in the Education Nation system allow you to pick and choose as you wish, a course series is a structured set of courses, which can only be run in the recommended order that the course authors suggested. This can be a great way to get someone quickly from little understanding, to a good basic understanding of a topic.
If you wish to take these courses piecemeal, they can be taken as you wish from your MY ACCOUNT page.

[katb_testimonial group=”Practical Techniques” number=”all” by=”random” id=”” rotate=”yes” layout=”0″ schema=”default”]
Children with communication difficulties need extra practice. Typical kids need hundreds of repetitions of a word to learn a word (except for swear words) and kids with communication difficulties often need more than that.
When you create communication opportunities, you make sure that your child practices their communication skills. And as we all know, practice makes perfect!
The techniques in this course are the foundation skills needed to ensure a child gets the best consistent opportunities to communicate and learn. (Many are used at higher levels with adults on a daily basis – we just often don’t recognise them!)
These are the Communication Techniques no educator should be without.
Master them, and it will always be useful whatever the level of support you are providing, to any age child (or adult).
Think of it like watching a game of football. ‘All’ that the player really does is repeat the same core skills over and over again during the duration of the game, long kicks, dribbling, heading the ball, etc. How well the player practices each individual skill and learns to combine them makes the difference.
It is the same with assisting a child to encourage communication – whether that child is pre-verbal or at any stage of language development. Each video snippet of the techniques are designed to be viewed frequently by you, or those with whom the pupil regularly interacts with, grandparents, childminders, older siblings etc.
