I have introduced you to Ness at “The girl with the 5 lads” already and tonight I would like to point you to her end of term post entitled “Because some teachers really do care”.
Growing up can be a tricky time for any child moving into adolescence – dealing with growth, raging hormones (particularly aged 7 & again at 14), school work, new schools, exams, peer pressure, social media, etc! – but I believe that for a child with a close family member who has a chronic illness, there are inevitably additional challenges which will present in different ways. Despite what some of our press would have us believe, there are still many hard working, inspirational teachers out there who put the children first.
