**”I don’t want to go back to school…”** ๐
If your child has said something like this over the holidays, or simply seems more tired, emotional or unmotivated than usual, they’re not alone.
๐ As the countdown to Term 3 begins, many children struggle to shift from holiday mode back into early mornings, classroom routines and learning. The transition can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
๐ด The mid-year school dip is real, and many children experience a drop in energy, motivation and confidence as winter continues.
โจ The good news? Small, simple changes at home can make a big difference.
๐ฉโโ๏ธ A child psychologist shares practical tips to help you support your child through the mid-year dip โ from improving routines and emotional wellbeing to rebuilding motivation and confidence ๐
๐ฑ Give your child the reset they need for a happier, more confident start to Term 3.
So here we are in the blink of an eye, the summer school holidays are over โ๏ธ๐๏ธ, and weโre preparing for a new school year ๐ซ๐๐.
Preparation isnโt just about new uniforms ๐๐, school shoes, or lunch boxes ๐๐ฅช. The real preparation is emotional ๐. Whether conscious or subconscious, much happens inside our kids as they step up to a new grade or level ๐โจ.
Many of the successes our children achieve both at school and in life are victories beyond what shows up on paper ๐๐. Theyโre the wins we help them achieve emotionally: overcoming a bad day ๐โก๏ธ๐, navigating friendships ๐ค, and handling social interactions with confidence ๐ช.
โYour childโs emotional wellbeing matters just as much as schoolwork. Small, consistent support listening, guiding, celebrating effort helps them build resilience, navigate friendships, and thrive at every stage of school.โ ๐โจ
From making friends in kindergarten, to handling playground conflicts in primary, to navigating peer pressure and stress in high school every small step matters.
Discover practical, parent-to-parent strategies backed by research ๐๐ง to support your childโs social and emotional wellbeing this school year. Your presence, guidance, and encouragement can make all the difference ๐.
