The back-to-school edition of Child takes a look at some issues of concern to both students and their parents.

Among other features, this edition includes guidelines for parents on how to settle into the new school routine while making the transition easier for their children; tips for healthy packed lunches; an overview of a new pedagogical approach being introduced at kindergarten level in State schools and advice on how parents can help children choose optional subjects.

Other topics tackle precocious pre-teens, hearing loss and the importance of limiting screen time. Child also looks at a list of events taking place in the coming weeks: the European Week of Sport, Science in the City and Superheroes in Science.

Child is distributed for free with the Times of Malta.
