• The first term sets the emotional and academic tone for the year.
• Children need structure, consistency, and emotional safety to thrive.

1. How Children Learn

• Learning is emotional before it’s academic.
• Children need routines, encouragement, and space to ask questions.

• Sudden mood changes or irritability
• Loss of interest in play or social connection
