Parental anxiety can be higher at points of transition and so is the value of building a positive practice of parental involvement so we hope some of these points will be useful, especially if you are new to a role that requires ongoing liaison with parents.

The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem (White and Epston 1990). This presentation discusses Externalising, a narrative therapy tool, which explores how by talking slightly differently about a problem helps externalise it from the person experiencing it and therefore makes it easier to tackle and address once detached from someone’s identity.

This is an excellent model, widely popular in the EP world, that offers groups of people the opportunity to discuss an area/ issue/ young person that adults feel stuck with. We really like the model as it allows adults to openly talk about how to navigate challenging situations (walking through the ‘swamp lands’ of teaching) whilst also holding the voice and perspective of the child in mind throughout the process. Have a look and do consider using your EPs as facilitators next time you would like support with getting unstuck.
