Episode 22: Preparing for the school year

In this podcast episode, I’m looking ahead and contemplating the upcoming 2024 school year. Reflecting on the lessons learned from managing summer transitions, I share insights on how to prepare for the new academic journey. From tackling book lists and uniforms to exploring three key strategies for a smooth start, I emphasise the importance of early planning. Firstly, I encourage parents to consider their child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) now, during the calm of the holiday period. Next, I discuss the often-overlooked transition from holiday mode to the more structured school routine. Finally, I explore how to set up home environments for success. From organising dedicated homework spaces to emotionally preparing children for the challenges ahead, I highlight the value of a proactive approach. Tune in for practical tips and thoughtful insights on ensuring a positive and successful start to the new school year. Follow me on: 1. Instagram: @leannetranpsychology 2. Facebook: @Leanne Tran 3.
