The start of a new school year can trigger a host of emotions, with many children navigating feelings of excitement, anxiety, optimism and dread. Some will be eagerly awaiting a reunion with their friends, the chance to get back into a routine and study new subjects.

But others will be feeling apprehensive to leave their family and safe, familiar home, with concerns over their new teacher, bringing the right kit to school and keeping up with their homework. It can be a stressful time for parents too, with a list of uniform and stationery to tick off whilst supporting your child emotionally and juggling the work:life balance.
