– Practical Activities for Addressing Absence in Young People Aged 6-13
Poor attendance is a way of life for some children – a way of coping for many and a genuine problem for others.
Attendance levels can be affected by family issues, poor parenting, behavioural problems and/or by specific factors in the classroom. It is linked with disaffection in many forms as well as underachievement, problems with confidence and poor peer relations. Practical, creative activities will help gain an insight into the child’s lifestyle and encourage and promote good attendance while helping children to understand the issues that they face.
