๐ŸŽ’ Transitioning to Prep โ€“ Pre-recorded online Parent Webinar

Starting school is a big milestone โ€” for children and parents. And while thereโ€™s no manual for it, the right support can make all the difference.

Our online pre-recorded PD session, Transitioning to School: Preparing Parents and Children for a Confident Start, is designed to help parents better understand what children experience when starting Prep.

In this session, we explore:
โœ” What to expect in the first term
โœ” Separation anxiety and adjustment
โœ” Morning, goodbye, and after-school routines
โœ” Supporting independence
โœ” When to seek extra support

This practical and supportive session is available to watch anytime, at your convenience.

Letโ€™s help our children start school feeling safe, confident, and supported ๐Ÿ’›

Is your child anxious about going to school? Clingy at drop-off? Already saying โ€œI donโ€™t want to goโ€?

The transition to Prep can bring big emotions โ€” for kids and parents. Separation anxiety, meltdowns, sleep disruptions, and worries about โ€œnot knowing anyoneโ€ are incredibly commonโ€ฆ but that doesnโ€™t mean you have to navigate them alone.
Our practical, evidence-informed one-off webinar will give you clear, supportive strategies to help your child start school with confidence.

In this session, youโ€™ll learn:
โœ”๏ธ What to expect in Term One
โœ”๏ธ How to manage separation anxiety
โœ”๏ธ Simple routines that build confidence and security
โœ”๏ธ Whatโ€™s typical โ€” and when to seek extra support

If you want calmer mornings, smoother goodbyes, and a child who feels safe and capable stepping into school, this webinar is for you.

You donโ€™t need all the answers before seeking an assessment.

Sometimes it's just a feeling โ€” that your child is โ€œyoung for their age,โ€ has big emotions, or is struggling more than their peers.

Other times, life changes like returning to study or parenting a neurodivergent child might highlight your own challenges.

Weโ€™re here to help โ€” for children, teens, and adults.

Some children are bright โ€” but still struggle in school.

They might:

โœ”๏ธKnow the answer but canโ€™t write it down

โœ”๏ธAvoid tests or become anxious

โœ”๏ธDo well one day and freeze the next

A psychological assessment helps uncover why this might be happening. Whether itโ€™s ADHD, a learning disorder, or giftedness, we can help you understand your child more clearly โ€” and get the support they deserve.

Sometimes all you need is a little positivity to get through the week!

Sometimes all you need is a little positivity to get through the week!

Nourish the mind with affirmations and truths instead of giving into the self-criticism and insecurity.

Repeat positive and confidence-boosting affirmations like:
โœจI am worthy of greatness
โœจI am grateful for myself
โœจI am capable and strong

Besides the thoughts we cultivate, create a habit of practicing self-compassion in your actions like:
๐Ÿ’—Making time to do something you love
๐Ÿ’—Journaling and giving yourself the space to self-reflect
๐Ÿ’—Allowing yourself to rest and reset

Itโ€™s in our thoughts and actions where true self-confidence is foundโญ๏ธ
