Back-to-School Advice from Ms Olu
The summer holidays are over, and a brand-new school year has begun! This is always an exciting time, full of fresh opportunities for children to learn and grow. As parents, your role in supporting that journey is just as important as what happens in the classroom.
Too often, parents wait until they see a worrying report card before stepping in. By then, a child may already feel left behind. Don’t wait—start supporting your child from the very first day of school.
Here are my top back-to-school tips for helping your child succeed:
1. Create a Routine and Stick to It
Children thrive on structure. Set regular times for reading, homework, meals, and bedtime. Even 10–15 minutes of focused practice each day makes a huge difference.
2. Read Every Day
Make reading part of your daily routine—whether it’s a bedtime story, reading labels in the supermarket, or exploring library books. Reading builds vocabulary, imagination, and confidence.
3. Stay Connected With Teachers
Don’t wait until parents’ evening to ask questions. Build a relationship with your child’s teacher from the start so you can work together to support your child’s progress.
4. Make Learning Fun at Home
Use games, puzzles, and everyday activities to keep learning light and enjoyable. Remember—children learn best when they are having fun.
5. Encourage Independence
Let your child try things on their own, like packing their bag or writing their name. These small steps build responsibility and self-confidence.
