About Our School-Aged Forum and What to Post Here

Welcome to the School-Aged Forum. If your child is five or older and you’ve entered the world of classrooms, lunchboxes, homework and growing independence, this is your space.

Parenting doesn’t get easier here. It just changes. Big feelings, school pressure, social dynamics and early tween vibes? You’re not alone.

Here are a few things you might post:

• How do you help with friendships and social drama?

• Any advice for bedtime battles with a 6-year-old?

• When did your child start asking for their own phone?

• School refusal. What worked for you?

• My child is behind in reading. What should I do?

This forum is also great for chatting about activities, sibling dynamics, learning support and navigating life beyond the baby years.

If you’re parenting a child at a different stage, try:

• Preschooler Forum (3–5 years) if your little one isn’t quite in school yet

• Parenting Life Topics for sleep, mental load or relationship stuff

• The Coffee Shop for anything more general or off-topic

This stage is full of change. For your child and for you. Ask a question, share what’s helped, or vent when you need a space to be real.
