You know something is wrong. Put it into words for school.
You don’t need a perfect explanation. Start with one recent example, what your teenager wants understood and one thing you want help with.
The free two-page starter includes prompts, an email starter and a worked example.

More help for the moments around the meeting.
For the night before. The difficult morning. The email you keep putting off.
- A 14-page practical guide: words to try, preparation for tonight and a manageable first-week plan.
- Three adaptable school emails: explain your concerns, request a conversation and follow up.
- A worked meeting example: turn observations into useful questions and a clear request.
- An 8-page School Conversation Workbook: map the day, organise notes and record agreed actions.
UK total £6.90 (£5.75 + £1.15 VAT). Tax elsewhere calculated at checkout. Two printable PDFs; use a notebook or print the pages you need. Not digitally fillable. No physical item.
You can start with one sentence.
“I can hear that tomorrow feels heavy. Is there one part you want me to understand?”
You don’t have to solve everything in that conversation. Listening can help you work out the next useful question.
A few things to know
Who is this for?
Parents and carers of teenagers finding school difficult who want practical help preparing conversations at home and with school.
How is the paid pack different from the free starter?
The starter helps you prepare one school conversation. The complete pack adds support for evenings and mornings, three adaptable emails, a worked example and the full workbook.
Will this get my child back into school?
No resource can promise that. This pack helps you prepare, communicate and record next steps. Your family may also need individual support.
Is this professional advice?
It draws on experience supporting young people and families. It is general educational information, not individual medical, psychological or legal advice. Adapt suggestions to your family.
I already have the School Conversation Workbook.
The same workbook is included unchanged in this pack. The practical guide is the additional resource.
