Did you know? WAKA Academy operates even during school holidays — we’re here year-round, except on public holidays! #WAKAAcademy #YearRoundLearning #AlwaysGrowing

Parent Tip: Talk to your children often — everyday conversations help boost their language development and confidence! #WAKAAcademy #ParentTips #EarlyLearningMatters

At WAKA Academy, we believe emotionally supported children are confident, resilient, and ready to learn. Let’s keep checking in — hearts first, homework second. #WAKAAcademy #WinterWellness #ParentingTips.

Remember: A warm meal, a kind word, and your presence can go a long way. Winter is the perfect season to slow down and nurture connection with your child. #ParentSupport #WAKAAcademyFamily.

If your child seems persistently down or withdrawn, don’t hesitate to talk to a teacher or counselor. Emotional well-being is just as important as academic progress. #WholeChildSupport #WAKAAcademyCares.

Encourage creative expression — drawing, journaling, or storytelling can help children process feelings they can’t verbalize. Art can be a window into their inner world. #MentalHealthForKids #CreativeOutlet.

Normalize emotions. Say things like:.•“It’s okay to feel sad sometimes.”.•“I feel tired in winter too.”.This teaches your child that emotions are natural — and manageable. #HealthyMinds #WinterSupport.

Make time for daily check-ins — even just 5 minutes after school or before bed. Children open up when they feel safe and unhurried. #WAKAAcademy #IntentionalParenting.

So, how can you check in emotionally?.Start with simple, open-ended questions:.•“How was your day today?”.•“Did anything make you happy or sad?”.•“Is there something on your mind?”.#EmotionalWellness.

Children may not always have the words to express what they feel. You might notice signs like:.•Being unusually quiet.•Irritability.•Lack of interest in things they enjoy.•Changes in sleep or appetite.#ParentAwareness #WAKAAcademy.

Winter brings colder days and darker mornings, which can impact your child’s mood, energy, and focus — even if they don’t say it out loud. #WinterWellness #MentalHealthMatters.

As the season changes, so can our children’s emotions. At WAKA Academy, we care about your child’s whole well-being — not just academics. Here’s a thread on why emotional check-ins matter this winter and how you can support your child’s mental health. #WAKAAcademy #ParentTips.
