You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know
What should you actually be asking for at school?
This week, Kirsty and I are talking about some of the things we’ve tried with the boys over the years, from movement breaks and quieter spaces to trusted adults, different transitions and the little adjustments that have ended up making a massive difference.
We’ve been visiting some local SEND groups recently and found ourselves hearing the same thing from parents again and again. Their child is struggling, they know something needs to change, but they have absolutely no idea what to ask for.
And that’s the problem. You don’t know what you don’t know.
With some turbulent times ahead for the SEND provision at our own school, it’s also got us thinking about what actually works for our boys, what they need to access school and the support we’ve learnt to ask for over the years.
So we’re sharing what’s worked wonders for us, what hasn’t, and some of the things we really wish we’d known to ask about much earlier.
Hopefully, there’s something in this episode that makes you think, hang on… could that help my child too? 🤍
