A little reading to begin with

A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONE

For a few days, note when the difficult moment starts and what came immediately before it. Include travel, hunger, noise, social demands and changes in plans. Record what happened, not a judgement such as 'dramatic again'.

Ask your child about the transition at a calmer time. They may describe a busy classroom, uncomfortable clothes or simply needing you nearby. Do not assume one explanation fits every day. The observation helps you select a modest change, while leaving room for school difficulties or health concerns that need separate attention. A behaviour log should inform support, not become evidence used against the child.
