Children's Problems

What should you do if your child has a problem?

  • Tell their class teacher.
  • Tell another child in the class.
  • Mention it in circle time.
  • Tell another adult.
  • Tell someone at home.
A small problem to an adult can seem enormous to a child, and can often be quickly sorted out. Therefore it is important that a child tells somebody who can do something about it. Please make sure your child knows that we do listen and there are several options if your child feels uncomfortable about approaching a specific person. Similarly, as a parent if you feel there are any problems please don't let them develop - do come and talk to us, sooner rather than later.
