About this listen

In this episode of Rice for Breakfast, we discuss the challenges of managing school transitions, including teacher changes, class reshuffles, and leadership shifts. As the school year progresses, children may feel anxious about new teachers, changing class dynamics, or a headteacher transition. Parents often experience stress as well.

We cover how to recognize and manage anxiety in both children and adults, strategies to help kids feel secure during uncertainty, and why school structures still follow outdated systems that can make transitions harder. We also explore how to support children emotionally, validate their feelings, and prepare them for change in a way that feels manageable.


This episode covers:

  • How school transitions affect children's emotions and learning
  • Ways to support kids through teacher and class changes
  • Why school anxiety often appears at bedtime and how to handle it
  • How to manage parental concerns about school leadership changes
  • Why school systems have not evolved as much as people think

We also share updates about our upcoming book and online course, designed to help parents navigate school life with confidence.
