Emi and booklet - supporting emotional readiness for every day and especially for every school transition - currently in all Endeavour Learning Trust reception classes - helping each little learner and their parents get ‘Reception Ready’.
Emi, Headssup, parents and schools
Headssup is an acronym for all of our core emotions, do you know what they are?
Hi, I’m Jane and I’m a mum, teacher, and psychology postgraduate,
I saw first-hand how many children struggled to understand their emotions,
especially during difficult times or big transitions like starting or moving school.
And whilst studying for a Masters in Psychology, I realised, it didn’t need to be this way.
Emi grew from real classroom experience into a trusted emotional wellbeing project, commissioned by the NHS, therapists, SENDCo’s, parents, teachers and a school trust.
