Visiting the Dentist: A Video for Children

This video is designed for parents to watch with their young children, particularly when the child feels worried or anxious about having their teeth checked, or is visiting the dentist for the first time. It takes children through an actual dental consultation, all the way from entering the building and talking to the receptionist to saying goodbye and (maybe) getting a sticker. On the way, we explore what happens during the check-up and explain why the dentist uses certain tools. It even features a fun quiz!

Planning for All Eventualities when Choosing a School or Waiting for Exam Results: An Activity to Help Children Feel Prepared

When children and teens are taking important exams or you are working together to choose their school, it’s vital that both you and they understand all of the options and have a positive plan for all outcomes. They need to know that, whatever happens, there are always avenues open to them and that there are numerous ways of achieving their goals. Help them to research and prepare and ensure that you’ve had plenty of conversations about all of the different pathways. Fill out these Plan A, B and C templates, pop them in envelopes and keep them for results day. On the day itself, open the relevant envelope and use it to help all of the positives shine through.

My Kindness Passport

Kindness comes in many forms. This activity is designed for use in school, but can equally be used at home. It encourages children to notice all the kind things that they do for others. When they do something kind, they take this book to their teacher (or a family member) to get it stamped. We’ve included plenty of ideas for them to try, but there’s also lots of space for them to write down their own kind acts that we haven’t thought of.

We’ve worked with English teacher and GCSE examiner Patrick Cragg to create this guide. It’s designed for parents, or anyone supporting a student through their GCSE in English literature. It provides a framework for discussing the play together, which will in turn help to develop your child’s knowledge. You’ll find detailed instructions on how to use the guide within the resource.

How Does Speaking in Front of Others Make Me Feel?

The ability to speak well in front of an audience is an amazing skill to develop. But it can also feel very scary, especially if you haven’t had much experience. This activity can help nervous young people to reflect on how they feel about speaking in front of others and identify some things that might help them to feel more prepared and confident.
