I have been following all the recent correspondence, and reflecting on my own daughter's situation (which is not good) and wondering if the approaching 'season of goodwill' is actually a season of stress for our children?

We are all keen for our sons and daughters to make an effort before the end of term, whilst they, perhaps, have end of term concerts (exhibition in our case), and maybe exams, to worry about. Older children are thinking about university applications.

Is this a particularly stressful time?
