Parents' stress and depression 'rise during lockdowns'
Levels of stress, depression and anxiety among parents and carers have increased with the pressures of the lockdowns, suggests research from the University of Oxford.
This is concerning - Placing more pressure on parents of primary aged pupils with more than one child and maybe limited screens or those parents working from home.
Surely recorded sessions help families function as smoothly as possible in these stressful times.

FEEDBACK for NURTURING LUNCHTIMES
‘I wanted to say thank you as it was a fabulous webinar that you hosted - I already run a very similar programme at school, so joined in the hope that it may give me some fresh ideas. We have a number of children that our current programme doesn't work for (despite them being put forward by their teachers on numerous occasions!) but I think this smaller group with more specific outcomes approach may help them’
