As the new school year begins next week, parents and guardians are encouraged to use this week to help children prepare emotionally, mentally, and physically for a safe and positive return to school.

The final days of the holidays are an important time to reconnect with children, establish healthy routines, and ensure they feel supported and ready for the year ahead.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to:

•𝗥𝗲-𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀:
Begin setting regular bedtimes and wake-up times, meal schedules, and study or reading periods to help children adjust smoothly back into school life.

•𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆:
Check that uniforms are clean and fit properly, school bags are ready, bus cards are topped up and all required books, stationery, and learning materials are prepared ahead of time to avoid last-minute stress.

•𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆:
Remind them not to talk to strangers, accept gifts, or go anywhere without permission. Encourage them to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

•𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹:
Teach children to use safe routes, be aware of their surroundings, and follow road and transport safety rules at all times.

•Encourage open communication:
Let children know they can speak freely with parents, caregivers, teachers, or trusted adults if they have concerns or worries.

•𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹:
Speak positively about the new school year, reinforce good behaviour, and help ease any anxiety they may have about returning to class.

•𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿:
Use the remaining days of the holidays to bond as a family, enjoy meaningful activities, and ensure children feel safe, valued, and supported.

The safety and wellbeing of our children is a shared responsibility. By planning ahead, setting routines, and having open conversations, we can help ensure every child starts the new school year feeling confident, prepared, and ready to learn.

Outsource Fiji Palladium: Make It Possible Swisscontact

When our child shows difficult behaviour, it’s really a message: “I’m struggling, not bad.”
How we respond in those moments shapes what they learn about emotions and connection.
When we validate, empathise and help them calm, they learn to regulate — and behaviour naturally improves.
When we ignore, punish or isolate, feelings grow bigger and regulation becomes harder.

✨ Connection teaches regulation, not correction.
