In the classroom, sometimes children panic when faced with a tricky learning problem or challenge. By teaching them how to cope with these feelings, we might make them better at tackling learning challenges and build better resilience so they don’t give up so easily when faced with difficulty.

Below are documents that have been shared with practitioners as to how to support children who have difficulty managing anxiety and anger. There are lots of practical things you can do at home. If you need any help or advice on these, please speak to your class teacher or email the school and ask for the SENDCO.
