EP29 - Beyond the Books: Mentally Preparing Your Child for School

Description

As the new school term approaches, many parents focus on purchasing books, bags, uniforms, and other supplies. However, preparing for school involves more than having the right materials. Parents must also consider how to mentally and emotionally prepare themselves and their children—whether the child is returning to a familiar school or entering a new one.

On this episode of Pause for Parenting, mental health specialist Dr. Dominiqua Griffin explains why mental preparation is essential for both parents and children. She shares practical advice to help families manage the transition and emphasizes that parental support should not end after the first day of school. Parents must remain present, attentive, and engaged throughout the entire school term.
