Making Learning & School Feel Easier (for Kids & Parents) with Sophie David aka LitttleHappyLearners
Back-to-school season can stir up a mix of emotions - excitement, nerves, and even a bit of Sunday-night dread, for both kids and parents.
In this episode, Emily and Matt sit down with Sophie David, founder of Happy Little Learners, to explore the unspoken pressures families face as September rolls around.
From big transitions like starting school for the first time or moving up to secondary, to supporting kids through worry and building motivation for learning, Sophie shares practical, play-based strategies to make the school journey smoother.
We talk about:
- Signs a child might be struggling with school changes
- How to support anxious children without overreacting
- Practical ways to beat the Sunday-night worry
- Making learning playful (and avoiding power struggles!)
- The surprising things parents overthink when it comes to school prep
Whether your child is eager to get back into the classroom or dragging their heels, this conversation is packed with tips to help you—and them—navigate the new term with confidence.
