Managing Goodbyes

Join Staci Grant, Head of Early Intervention and Senior Occupational Therapist in this parent workshop.

Saying goodbye can be a tearful and fearful time for both children and parents. Whether it’s day care, school or leaving for a night out; separation
anxiety and tricky goodbyes are both normal AND hard.

Our Managing Goodbyes masterclass equips caregivers with tools to support children through separation. We don’t promise to have tear-free goodbyes,
but rather help develop your child’s adjustment to separation and support their long-term emotional resilience. We will explore what separation anxiety, is and why happens, and most importantly give you practical strategies to help manage those goodbyes.

This masterclass is suitable for children who are already experiencing tricky goodbyes, as well as those looking for strategies before starting a new routine like school.
