Brewing Bonds: Dr Satinder Walia Guides Parents Through the Transition Years

As part of Brewing Bonds, the school’s home-school partnership platform, parents of Grades 3 and 4 came together for an insightful conversation with Dr Satinder Walia, renowned child psychologist and parenting expert, on understanding and navigating the important transition years. The session covered emotional and developmental shifts, formal assessments, friendships, independence, and communication, offering parents a closer look at what children experience as they grow into new stages of themselves. More than a parent session, Brewing Bonds was framed as a space for shared understanding – where school and families come together to listen, learn and build a stronger support system around every child. Parents left with practical insight into their children’s changing needs, reinforced by the belief that understanding where a child is today helps the school and family better support who they can become tomorrow.
