How to prioritise with Mr. Burton

Bitesize Secondary Parents' Survival Guide

Available for over a year

Fellow frazzled parents Jonathan Overend (BBC Radio 5 Live) and Deborah James (You, Me and the Big C) hear from listener Vanessa who is worried her girls aren’t learning the right subjects. They are joined by Educating Yorkshire’s Mr. Burton who explains why school work isn’t always as important as routine, why it’s good to keep realistic, and why we could all do with a big dose of kindness. You can find Mr. Burton in the daily lessons for every school age group on bbc.co.uk/bitesize or search ‘Bitesize’ in iPlayer. There are plenty more resources for parents on Bitesize, from wellbeing tips to practical advice on activities.
