In this webinar, renowned behaviour and parenting expert Sue Cowley will explore the strategies that you can use to best support your child’s learning and physical/mental health during and after lockdown. She will give her top tips on managing behaviour and supporting learning at home, with a particular focus on helping children who have special educational needs. Sue will also examine how parents can move forwards as lockdown eases, supporting their children in the transition back to school.

In the current difficult situation, it is vital for parents to strike a balance and to help their children feel motivated and able to focus on learning, as well as maintaining a happy atmosphere in the home. This requires a tricky blend of structure, planning, resourcing and a focus on building self-regulation skills. Sue will explain how to balance these elements to maintain learning and support good family relationships. Sue Cowley welcomes questions beforehand. You can use the form on the right side to send your questions.

During the webinar, Sue will cover the following topics:

  • Learning During Lockdown: Strategies for making home education work for you and your children.
  • Routines and Structures: The importance of creating routines and structures to help your child focus their attention and feel safe and secure.
  • Maintaining Motivation: How to use your child’s interests to make learning seem like ‘child’s play’.
  • Building Self-Regulation: Self-regulation is crucial for good learning outcomes – what is it and how can you help your child develop it?
  • Behaviour Strategies: The key strategies that work for getting better behaviour, whatever the context.
  • Parenting Positives and Pitfalls: Looking at the positives of time spend home educating and exploring the classic pitfalls to watch out for.
  • Supporting Mental Health: How can we support our children’s mental health, and also our own, during the lockdown and as the lockdown eases?
