Back to School: A Real Emotional Whirlwind

Going back to school always comes with a mix of emotions: nervousness, excitement, perhaps a little fear... For kids, this transition can be a real emotional whirlwind. The last thing we want is to overwhelm them even more.

It's important to give them space and time to adapt to new rhythms and routines. Music can be a great ally in this process, helping to calm and connect, but without pressure.

At Petit Folks, we believe that music should be a support, not a stressor. You can use songs to create moments of calm and joy, to reconnect after school, or simply to relax before bedtime. Let your kids choose their favorite songs and enjoy these moments unhurried and without expectations.

Here are some ideas to smoothly integrate music into your back-to-school routine:

1. Wake Up with Music: A gentle song can make mornings less rushed and more pleasant. Try to reduce morning rush and take things slower.
2. On the Way to School: Singing together can turn the journey into a fun and relaxing moment, helping to ease nerves before entering school.
3. After School: Use music to unwind, release the day's stress, and reconnect after being apart all day.
4. Before Bedtime: A quiet song to peacefully end the day.

In our app, you'll find 96 traditional children's songs in English, Spanish, and Catalan. And remember, the most important thing is for your kids to feel supported and understood. Music is there to accompany them, not to add more pressure.
