Helping your child to understand
Ruby’s Worry
We know some children may be anxious about going to school throughout the pandemic. This is a story about recognising and support children who may worry. It is ok for children to be a little apprehensive, we are here to help them through this and support them by talking about what is upsetting them in a sensitive way.
