Ways to cope
Take a ‘pocket friend’ to school with you, like a small pebble or a piece of something from home. Touching it in your pocket might make you feel better. Try to make your ‘pocket friend’ something not too precious (in case you lose it) or too flimsy like paper (in case it rips and breaks)
Ask your teacher if they can organise activities during break and lunchtime play
Tell your friends how you feel
Sew or stick a heart that your parent has kissed inside the school jumper sleeve. At school rub your cheek with the sleeve and receive the kiss when you feel lonely
