John Hattie: What happened during Covid, parents saw their kids learning, they saw sometimes that their kids struggled with learning and it was a negative thing, other parents saw their kids struggling with learning - and it was a fun thing.  In the same way they struggled to play Angry Birds or Fortnight, they loved it. They loved the game called learning. Their parents saw what their kids did when they didn't know what to do. They saw how they learnt alone and how they worked with others. And as some parents said to me, I didn't realize my child was so awful and naughty in that environment.

Andrew Fuller: Anxiety really only becomes a problem when we don’t do anything with it.  So, anxiety is a feeling that all humans have and when it works well, we get kind of energised to do the things that we need to do.  When we don’t use it well is when we kind of collapse in a heap or flick through a whole lot of social media postings or really don’t use it as a call to action.

Professor Donna Cross: Our research has shown that one of the most wonderful things to do with children when they are feeling anxious or want to talk about an issue is to go for a walk with them – children are much more likely to be open when they are shoulder to shoulder … so driving in the car, anywhere that you are shoulder to shoulder with a child, is a great way to have a conversation, and particularly a difficult conversation with them.
