Do you make a plan to start the new school term, or do you just go for it and see what unfolds? Today, we’re going to have a look at why things go wrong and if there’s anything we can do about that. I have a secret formula which I call doughnuts! Bring your journal, paper and pen because we are going to work it all out together. So next time something goes wrong, you can see it from a different perspective, and maybe even stop putting yourself under so much pressure to get it right all the time.
