Are You Concerned?
Jacob
Jacob is 3 years old and a lively, noisy little boy who loves the outdoors and messy play. His parents Lynn and Jason are becoming increasingly concerned about Jacob’s eating habits and his behaviour at mealtimes.
Freya
Freya is a sweet and clever eight year-old girl who loves to dance. She is very popular with all her friends. She lives with her mother Leean and her grandmother Amira. Since her parents separated a year ago, Amira has noticed that Freya worries a lot.
Josh
Josh is fifteen. He used to be a happy, carefree boy with a great sense of humour, always telling jokes. For at least six months he has been feeling that his life is out of control, and sometimes feels it is pointless.
Do You Have an 8-12 Year-Old Who Is Often Angry, Stressed or Anxious?
This parenting course is for you if:
- You have a pre-teen child (aged 8-12) who is struggling with their emotions and/or behaviour.
- You want to take practical steps to improve your child’s well-being.
- You want to equip your child with the skills to cope successfully with big emotions.
- You recognize that your current family life doesn’t fit with the vision you once had for family life and you want to do something about it.
- You are able to dedicate a few minutes per day over 5 weeks, or spread over a longer period if you prefer, to watch the videos and complete the exercises.

- Autism Assessments: We are currently full til Easter and will start taking names again in January for the summer term. Please do try https://www.pebbleautism.co.uk/ for something sooner.
- **11-plus Appeal information.**
Hopefully all the year 6 children will get the 11-plus score you were expecting so they can choose the right school for them.
When the results come on the 15th October if the result does not seem a fair reflection you may be considering an appeal.
The school will help you with this and will provide their view. However it can also be useful to have a cognitive assessment as independent evidence.
The WISC V looks at a child’s ability and compares to the population. Naturally this gives a useful comparison to the 11-plus results. We will have some pre-booked spaces over half term which will give you the results in time for the deadline. Please call Mike on 01494 521332 if you would like to book one of these.
24/7 helpline for any young person/ family in Bucks and Oxfordshire who have mental health concerns: 01865 904 998.
