Well today the children of Richardson Support House started school again for the year! When we set Support House up, we wanted it to be a friendly place where visitors, staff and clients could bring their children. So over the school holidays we have had lots of children about. We moved a cubby house into the back yard and built a secure fence, so the children have enjoyed the back yard. But it has been very hot, so there have been a lot of quiet indoor games too.
Sometimes our children worry about starting school again. School anxiety is a common issue. There are many websites set up to address this.

May the start of school be a time of great joy to your children.
Best wishes from the Richardson Support House Team
