Build early social skills with our free resource pack

This resource pack has been created to support parents, educators and teachers, as well as children, with navigating new social and emotional situations. Children are likely to experience a range of emotions during transitional periods – such as starting school for the first time – and we know as adults that a new situation can produce feelings of anxiety or uncertainty. We hope that the tips and activities on these pages will prompt open conversations and support your child's social and emotional development. Be mindful of sharing any advice in an age, stage and ability-appropriate way – you know your child best in terms of how to support them.
