Back to school

With the return to school and the beginning of the course, we realize that our children are no longer so young, and they face a new school year that until "two days" was far away.

In addition to the emotion contained before the first day of school for our little ones, the beginning of the school year also brings with it fun and almost surreal moments between the parents of the students (the WhatsApp groups of the school go a long way), and between parents and teachers.

Back to school is here! After a long vacation period, children return to the classroom, and to a greater or lesser extent they may be nervous, hesitant or uneasy about the situation.

The new year has begun, and apart from the children enjoying school and developing as people, parents also want our children to learn.

Going back to school is not the same for all children, as there are some who enjoy the moment and meet again with classmates and teachers, while for others they are complicated days that require time, understanding and support.

Surely this summer you have missed those frequent message notices to comment on everything (everything: school and extracurricular) in the school WhatsApp group. Or maybe they have continued to sound? Has it happened like in the back to school ads, which appear every time before? Is the phone already ringing again with messages about the books, cases and miscellaneous material that children have to bring their first day of school? Perhaps the themes are more diverse?

If the search for reconciliation between family and work life has always been one of the main concerns of parents, this school year the problem has multiplied. And it is that the COVID pandemic has completely changed our lives, affecting us in different areas of our day to day, work being one of them.

Little by little Spanish children are returning to the classroom, and this year it is impossible not to feel doubts and even some fear about the health situation we are experiencing. Not surprisingly, many parents are considering not taking their children to school for the moment, and others will do so wrapped in uncertainty and fear.
