Neet or not NEET?

Waking up your child on their first day is always a challenge. However if they have had a break from Education and Training and have lost their way then there is a new challenge for the parent.
How will the first day go?
Will the Taxi arrive?
Waking your child up on his first day may attract resistance. Will there be an outright refusal or an acceptance?
I was fortunate. Yes there was a delay but not pushing the situation seemed to work. The initial response was key ..There was life.
Allowing for time and regular calm announcements seem to work. Agreed, it doesn't always work.
It may be a challenge subject to the relationship you have with your child. Are they angry with you for sending them. Fed up not doing anything or want to get back to their mates.
I would argue that if friends are all doing something its easier. If they are not then the temptation to not even get started is a big one
I have to admit to cheering to myself...Why?
Because 15 mins before we were sat downstairs waiting.  Relief, relief that there had been no anger , no shouting and little in the way of a major bust up.

So throughout our working day we wonder how it has gone. I watched from my  car  as the taxi pulled up..it waited a few seconds and tooted and then I saw the departure.

A child going to a new provider means a new phase. The rules are different to conventional school.
As I stated in an earlier post. There is a need for earlier assessments
It's not just the adults assessing the child. But, it's the child assessing the new team.

When they return you may be fortunate and they come and share. They may not. Either way its all in their own time. Every Youth is different
