For parents in many parts of Australia, this week is a very, very important one.
It’s the week their child starts school for the first time. They’ll dress their sons and daughters in uniforms that seem far too big, put shiny, brand new shoes on their feet, and place hats on their heads that will inevitably be lost within days. Lunch boxes will be packed, and bags will be zipped up.
But it’s the emotional significance of this moment that takes many parents by surprise. It’s a reminder that your child won’t be a baby forever, and as they grow up, they’ll gradually become more and more independent.
For Rebecca Judd, Tuesday was the big day. Her eldest son, five-year-old Oscar, is starting Kindergarten.
