The SHINE Method

A calm, structured way to respond
when social dynamics shift.

When children withdraw, avoid school, or say things like
"no one likes me," many parents are unsure what to do next.

SHINE provides a clear way to understand what is happening and choose the next step with confidence.

A practical parent guide and reflection toolkit designed for children aged approximately 8–14.
