The start of a new school year is a time of fresh notebooks, new friendships, and new possibilities—but for many children, it can also bring uncertainty, worry, and big emotions. Even children who generally cope well can feel unsettled by changes in routine, expectations, or environment

The holiday season brings colour, joy, and anticipation — but for children, it can also bring big emotions. With disrupted routines, extra stimulation, and high expectations, kids often feel excitement and overwhelm at the same time. Supporting them with calm, connection, and simple strategies can make the season easier for everyone.

Every decision shapes the path ahead, but knowing which choice is right can feel overwhelming. Fear of making the wrong move, uncertainty about the future, and the pressure to choose wisely can leave you stuck in hesitation.

Loss shows up in different ways — the end of a relationship, the sudden hit of job loss, or a shift in identity when life changes who we thought we were.

We’ve been sold a version of love that’s all fireworks and movie moments — dramatic gestures, diamond rings, epic speeches under the stars.

Being unheard, unsupported, or misunderstood cuts deep. It’s not just frustrating — it can feel lonely, even make you doubt yourself.

Children don’t always come home and say, “I’m being bullied.” Fear, shame, or worry about making things worse often keeps them quiet.

Young people today are under huge pressure. School demands, friendship dramas, family expectations, and the endless noise of social media — it’s a lot.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back after difficulties. It’s not about avoiding problems but learning how to face them with courage and creativity.

Some days, it feels like you’re climbing a mountain with no end in sight.

Joy isn’t a luxury. It’s fuel. It’s what keeps us moving through the dark and reminds us that light still exists.
