This information may be very useful for lots of families at the moment.
School isn’t always easy. Your child won't always be fine.
Some days feel exciting, others feel scary. Sometimes friends are kind, and sometimes they’re not. And it can feel big and confusing inside their little hearts.
What they really need to hear before school is this:
✨ “It’s okay to feel nervous. Lots of children do.”
✨ “If someone isn’t kind, it doesn’t mean you did something wrong.”
✨ “You’re allowed to find new friends if things don’t feel good.”
✨ “Whatever happens today, you are still you and you are loved.”
When you send your child in with those truths in their invisible schoolbag, they walk through the gates knowing it’s normal to feel what they feel, and that kindness and belonging start inside them.
💛 If your child is navigating those first years of school and you want to help them with tricky friendships and hold onto who they are, The Invisible Schoolbag is for you - a gentle, practical guide for parents of deep-feeling kids to thrive at school
