Key messages for parents
The transition to high school can be challenging, but with preparation and support, it can also become a positive period of growth.
Key things to remember:
- Preparation and communication reduce anxiety
- Adjustment takes time and progress may not be linear
- Small practical supports can make a big difference
- Understanding and acceptance strengthen resilience
Supporting your child through this transition helps build skills and confidence that will continue to benefit them throughout adolescence and into adulthood.
