School Psychologist Corner

It’s an exciting time of the year, with Summer here and the school year winding down. It can also be a time of stress, especially for our Year 6 students getting ready to transition to high school. ReachOut Australia shares: “The transition from primary to secondary school is a time of rapid change for students. As exciting as it can be, it can also be stressful and challenging as they prepare to adapt to new rules, environments, and expectations.
Starting high school is a huge milestone for young people, as well as their families.” Here are some resources from ReachOUT for parents to support their teens in navigating the changes that come with making the big move: transition to high school support.
If you like listening to podcasts and have the opportunity when driving home from work, or while you’re waiting for kids to finish their sports activity, “A Little Easier” is a podcast designed to support stressed parents. As the host, Kendra Wilde shares:
“parent well-being matters; it ripples to our kids. Parenting is hard, especially when our kids struggle. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed and exhausted, relief is here. Kendra Wilde, an advocate and mom, created this show because she needed it herself. It brings together insights from leading experts and parents who ‘get it’ to give us all a lift.”
If you’ve been following my corner, you may even recognise one of the parenting gurus she talks to: Mona Delahooke.
You can find a great tip sheet to put on the fridge: https://alittleeasier.org/resources/
Some of her tips include:
Enjoy the journey, they grow up fast (mother of 4 grown up children here) 😊.
