Yes, welcome back to the first full week back after the holidays, for many the first with children of the New Term.

Many classes experience problems at the start of any term after a longish break, with teacher's wondering if they ever actually did 'anything' with these children in the previous term! 

This is natural as children quickly forget routines and acceptable standards of communication and behaviour that we would have put in place before the holidays. Home's are different from classroom and the child sometimes has domination of attention in the home environment and can then find the transition back into 'waiting', 'following instructions promptly' etc difficult even after a short break from school.

In this episode I talk about how I overcome that and hopefully provide some help to teachers who are finding the return difficult for children in their classrooms.
