~ Sunrise Peak Open Day

Our hearts are so full after such a lovely afternoon celebrating our Open Day.

Thank you to our incredible team, our family, our friends and everyone who took the time to come along and celebrate with us.

We feel so lucky to have such wonderful people around us. Thank you for helping make the day so special.

The first week back at school can feel like a whirlwind.

Lunch boxes. Uniforms. Earlier mornings. Homework. Tired children. Tired parents.

If your child seems more emotional, clingy, anxious or exhausted than usual, you're not alone.

Research tells us that transitions place extra demands on children's nervous systems. Even positive changes require adjustment, which is why you may notice bigger emotions after school or at bedtime during the first couple of weeks.

A few things that genuinely help:
✨ Ease back into routines gradually where possible.
✨ Prioritise sleep over perfection.
✨ Keep after-school schedules light.
✨ Focus on connection before solving problems.
✨ Remember that behaviour is often communication.

Most children settle as routines become familiar again.

If worries persist, school refusal develops, anxiety continues to increase, or your child seems overwhelmed for several weeks, reaching out for support early can make a significant difference.

Save this post for the first few weeks back and share it with another parent who might need the reminder.
