As we approach almost a month into the school term, we hope everyone is settling in and doing well!

Starting prep is a big transition, and even a few weeks in, it’s completely normal to still see big emotions, tired afternoons, or changes in behaviour. Knowing what to expect can make all the difference.

Some tips shared by our occupational therapists:
✅Focus on co-regulation before expectation
✅Build predictable routines
✅Allow space to decompress after school
✅Remember: progress > perfection

Share with a parent who needs this gentle reminder 😊
