My children have both settled really well this week, they are excited and happy to see their friends again as this is the thing they have missed the most. Having other children to play with again and talk to again is helping them very much in adjusting to being back at school and after talking to them.is the most important thing they feel they need to keep them happy :-)

As children grow up and change schools, or move to new schools in new areas, it may take some time for them to feel happy and comfortable. If you notice that your child has started behaving differently and you're worried, it's important you're able to talk to your child's teacher about it. They can help provide a full picture, and can help you support them with whatever they are struggling with.
Worried they're being bullied?
Being bullied is a serious problem, and never your child's fault. If you're worried your child is being bullied, encourage them to talk to you about it, or if they don't feel able to, to call Childline.

We have advice about how to spot the signs a child is being bullied, and what to do if they are. Childline also has advice for young people being bullied and message boards where they can find support.
Worried about their mental health?
If you have noticed a change in your child's behaviour, they could be struggling with something at school, like bullying or harmful relationships, but they could also be struggling with their mental health. We have lots of advice about how to know if something is wrong and what you can do to help support them.

If your child has a hard time opening up to you, encourage them to get support from Childline's counsellors. They also have information and advice for young people on mental health and coping with stress.

The mood journal can help you to let your feelings and worries out. Why not use it to write about how you're feeling before going to school, and how it's gone after.

It can be scary asking for help, but everyone needs extra support sometimes. Doing homework with your friends can be a good way to get support, or you could ask an adult for help.

When you get too stressed, it can feel tempting to stay up to finish work or eat unhealthily. Staying healthy can help to lower you stress and make it easier to concentrate. We've got lots of tips on staying healthy that may help.

Remember: Exams assessments are important but they're not the only way to a successful future.

Sometimes the way you say something can make a big difference to how you feel, and what others think of you. Take a few moments before you answer a question - this can help you feel more confident about what you're saying.

If you are not sure, ask to repeat the question or say you don't understand. Don't pretend to know. Try using words like 'yes' and 'no' instead of 'sort of' and 'not really'. This can make you sound more clear and confident.

Look after yourself physically. It can really make you more confident. Eating healthily and doing exercise can make a big difference. Try not to eat a lot of processed food like crisps, chocolate and ready meals. And don't drink too much coffee. Instead, choose fresh fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water.

By looking after yourself this way, you will naturally feel better and have more energy. Try our tips for staying healthy.

Taking the time to notice when things go well and realising when you're being too hard on yourself can improve your self-esteem and make you feel better.

Whenever something happens and you have a negative thought about yourself, ask yourself whether you've done anything wrong.

For example, if a teacher doesn't pick you, you might feel like you're not good enough. But it could also be that the teacher didn't realise you wanted to be picked. Or they wanted to give someone else a turn.

Even if you think you have done something wrong, try thinking about what you'd like to do differently next time.

Thinking of positive things can be difficult if you're used to putting yourself down. But you can use the mood journal in your locker to help.

Try writing down your moods every day. Question your negative thoughts and try asking someone you trust about them. Make sure you write down anything positive you do, even if it's small.

What to do if you think you might get bullied:

talk to your parents, carers or a teacher about it so that they can support you

plan what you want to do at break or lunch times, having a safe place you can go with a teacher there can help you to feel calmer

think about what you want to do if someone does try to bully you, knowing that you can ignore them or be assertive can help you to feel more confident.

If you're worried about being bullied at school, Bullying UK has lots of advice and support.

Returning to school after leaving because of mental health

It can be scary going back to school when you've had a mental health issue. You might be worried about not being able to cope, or people not giving you the support you need.

Every school is different, but before you go back it can help to make a list of what you might find supportive. This could include:

returning slowly or on a reduced timetable

having somewhere in school you can go if you need a quiet space

finding a particular staff member you feel comfortable speaking with if you need to talk

whether you can speak to Childline during the day if you need to.
