Fill your kids with confidence with The Week Junior's back-to-school wellbeing guide
The Week Junior have partnered up with children's mental health charity Place2Be to help kids build resilience and manage their back-to-school nerves
Your FREE back-to-school wellbeing guide
Going back to school can be a worrying time for kids; they've had the long school summer holidays to switch off and unwind - and now they need to get used to the classroom again, move up a year and get to know a new teacher. Many children will also be making the big transition from primary to secondary school. It's a lot for them to adapt to, and even the most confident children may have a wobble over the next few weeks.
That's why The Week Junior have teamed up with children's mental health charity Place2Be to create a special back-to-school wellbeing guide. It has some great techniques and tips on how to manage those fears, build resilience and embrace change. Together, we want to help children go back to school with confidence, ready to learn but also to have fun and enjoy it.
