Supporting the teenage learner when they don’t ‘need you anymore’!

7-12 Teaching and Learning Leader
The teenage years are tough for everyone involved – mostly for the teenager themselves, but also for everyone around them.
It can be hard to know how to support someone who often (loudly!😉) tells you they do not need or want your support.
However, it is really important that parents, carers and teachers continue to engage with the learning of teenagers and support them in their ongoing academic, social and emotional development, during what can be transformative years and a significant predictor of future health, wealth and happiness.
