School Behaviour Secrets with Simon Currigan and Emma Shackleton

From Festive Chaos To Calm Classrooms - Helping Pupils Cope With Christmas


Listen Later

Christmas is exciting… but in schools, it can also send behaviour spiralling.

Between nativity rehearsals, parties, Christmas jumper day, and all the glitter-induced chaos, many pupils tip from festive fun to full-on overwhelm faster than you can say “silent night.”

In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you’ll learn why December is such a challenging month for regulation, the hidden SEMH pressures pupils face and the simple changes that help children stay settled so they can actually enjoy the fun.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Christmas disrupts the nervous system for many pupils
  • The bedtime routine analogy that explains festive behaviour perfectly
  • Practical strategies you can use immediately to reduce silliness, anxiety and pre-holiday chaos
  • How to help pupils enjoy Christmas without tipping into dysregulation

If you want a calmer, happier run-up to the holidays — for you and your pupils — this episode is your roadmap.
