How to see your child off to school with a smile

Author: Antonia Chitty  Price:  £9.99 Crimson Publishing

It can be hard enough for any parent letting go and waving off their little baba for their first day at big school.

It can be just as hard if not harder for the child, and though so many go through this experience and bound back day after day full of the joys of the education system what if your child is the one that hates it?

It can be just as isolating and emotionally upsetting for the parents making their children do something that really upsets them.  It can also be difficult getting to the root of what their problem is.

Antonia Chitty’s book delves into this problem and puts together a guide to coping and a practical action plan for dealing with it.

The good thing about this book is that it lays out all the things you would have thought of and plenty of those you wouldn’t. Sometimes it helps to hear someone else say what you already know. At least you will know you are not alone and heading in the right direction to sorting it out. 

The book gives sound and realistic advice on how to approach the school and to also look at alternative schooling options that may be more suitable to your child.

The book’s author as well as being an experienced writer and journalist has two children of her own and is a school governor. Seeing the daily routine of school through so many angles has given her a keen insight and so she knows what she is talking about.

Even if your child is happy at school it is good to know what other educational options are available so should you have problems in the future this book will have given you the ammunition and knowledge you need to take any swift action.
