SCHOOL – PARENTS PARTNERSHIP

• Supporting school’s programme

• Reinforcing children’s attendance
• Observing children’s behaviour
• Consistent messaging (non - conflicting)

UNDERSTANDING OUR CHILDREN

• Adolescence

– Hormonal changes due to puberty – Behavioural changes

• Mood swings / Stress
• Change in attitude
• Peer influence / Peer pressure
• Need for social identity
