Siblings Sammy and Bryony's school's Assistant Head shares they're better at self-regulating, and communicate more effectively and appropriately.
Their family have noticed they're not ‘bottling-up’ and exploding or having meltdowns at home.
Their teacher says they're nor over-sharing anymore.
Children, young people, families & other adults report:
Significantly improved
self-esteem and emotional wellbeing & better school attendance
Tara's family and school shared big changes as their self-esteem rocketed:
Before they weren't invited to any class parties or social occasions, seemed 'isolated' and socially separate and never put their hand up in class 'even when they know the answers'...
Tara delights in telling us they've presented in assembly, have 'five BFFs', have been to three birthday parties and have been to their ever first sleep-over. We're delighted to hear it, too.

Greatly improved sleep, for all the family:
Jo says the nightmares have stopped now he and feels 'safer' at night.
His family says he's not ‘up in the night’ like he used to be - which means everyone gets to sleep.
Children and young people agreed that these could be shared on our social media, too. We always make sure that no identifying information is shared. All names and photos used have been changed to protect each individual's identity.
