These are the kinds of questions that help us remember who we are beneath the expectations, the pressure, the performance. I encourage you to slow down and sit with just one of these today. Write about it. Walk with it. Let it nudge you back to yourself.

Thank you, Helen Marie!

Let’s talk about Term 6.

It’s a tough one. Really tough.
It’s the longest term of the year. Temperatures are high. Everyone’s tired – adults and children alike.

But for our young people, there’s even more going on.

They’re starting to feel it…
The endings. The goodbyes. The looming changes that September will bring.
New classes. New teachers. Maybe new schools. It’s a lot – even if they can’t quite put it into words.

You might notice more emotional outbursts at home.
Or a total shutdown after school.
That’s not you doing something wrong – it’s after-school restraint collapse.
They’ve been holding it together all day. And you’re their safe place.

So what can help?

Slow things down.
Stick to familiar routines.
Lower your expectations at home – and raise your connection.
Be gentle – with them, and with yourself.

Term 6 asks a lot of our young people. Let’s give them what they really need:
Safety, predictability, and room to feel what they’re feeling.

You’ve got this. And so do they.
