Back-to-School 2025: Are Parents Really Prepared for the Hidden Challenges Ahead?
As schools across globe prepare to reopen their gates, parents are busy shopping for uniforms, bags, and supplies. The energy is palpable; fresh books, polished shoes, and the anticipation of a new academic year. But beneath the excitement lies a pressing question:
Are our children truly ready for the hidden challenges of this school year?
Beyond academics, children today face an increasingly complex world. New social pressures, evolving online risks, shifting school policies, and rising concerns about mental health and safety all collide to shape their everyday experiences. Preparing for these realities requires more than school supplies, it requires knowledge, strategy, and purposeful parenting.
A Timely Strategic Briefing for Parents
To help parents rise to this challenge, a Special Back-to-School Strategic Briefing will hold on Saturday, September 6, 2025.
The session will be facilitated by Mr. Taiwo Akinlami, Family Attorney and Africa’s leading voice in Family Strengthening and Child Safeguarding. With over two decades of experience working with schools, governments, and international agencies, Mr. Akinlami has become a trusted authority in helping families and institutions navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of child protection.
What Parents Will Learn
Parents who attend will walk away equipped to:
- Navigate changes in school policies and legal requirements that affect their children’s safety and learning.
- Prepare children to thrive both academically and emotionally, amidst rising pressures and expectations.
- Create a safe and nurturing environment at home and beyond, fostering resilience, confidence, and strong values.
Why This Matters Now
Every school year brings new opportunities, but also new risks. From bullying to online exploitation, from unclear school policies to peer influence, parents must be proactive rather than reactive. The back-to-school period is the perfect time to reset strategies, clarify expectations, and strengthen the home-school partnership that keeps children safe and empowered.
