The new school term is a time of excitement and anticipation, but it can also bring about stress and anxiety for children facing the prospect of a new routine, environment and extended periods away from their family. 

Parents are helping their children transition smoothly back to school by focusing on their emotional development and overall wellbeing. Children who are emotionally, as well as academically prepared for school are more capable of managing the stresses of the classroom and are better at fostering meaningful relationships with peers and teachers.

By nurturing their children’s emotional health, knowledge and social development, parents are building a strong foundation for success, helping to equip children with the tools to handle the demands of everyday school life, study and exams. 

There are many activities that families can do to promote mind-body wellness both at home or on expert-led experiences, such as the wellbeing programmes at Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva-Som. Professionally curated to prepare children with essential emotional life skills, these retreats take place in Khasooma, a private and peaceful coastal location to the north of Qatar at Zulal Discovery, a pioneering family destination.

Since nutrition plays such a vital role in a child’s cognitive and physical development, by empowering them with knowledge, children can make better food choices. This helps them take ownership of their health, improves energy levels, and enhances concentration and overall well-being.
