Supporting Your Child During the School Holidays

School holidays are a wonderful time for rest, fun, and family, but they can also present challenges for some children. Being away from friends and the structured routine of school may lead to feelings of stress, isolation, or loneliness. It's essential for parents and caregivers to stay mindful of these potential difficulties and provide the necessary support during this period.

Maintaining a healthy headspace is crucial for your child’s wellbeing. To help them stay connected, adapt to changes in routine, and make the most of their break, we’ve attached some practical tips below. You’ll also find guidance on recognising when your child might need extra support and where to seek help if necessary.

By staying engaged and proactive, you can help make the holidays a positive and refreshing experience for your child.

We wish you a safe, happy break and look forward to welcoming everyone back next year!
