The theme for Black History Month in 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”, which celebrates the resilience and strength of Black communities and acknowledges the profound contributions of Black leaders, activists, and pioneers while looking toward continued empowerment and growth 😊

Back to school this week, what are you feeling? 😃😩😡🤢😱😲

Top Tips for Parents

Active listening:
Listen to your child without dismissing them or immediately trying to problem-solve.

Validate their emotions:
Reassure your child that it's normal to feel many emotions and that you understand.

Establish a routine:
Gradually adjust bedtimes and mealtimes to a school-like schedule before the term begins to ease the transition.

Talk and ask questions:
Ask open questions about the school day to encourage open communication.

Use creative ways to communicate:
For children who find it hard to talk, try using feelings charts, picture books, or acting out scenarios with toys to help them express themselves.

Seek support:
If your child is struggling, tell school, they have experience and can offer support.

Best wishes to all parents and children going back to school this week 🌈 🍀
