Step Up: Parents
Secondary school can be a difficult time for parents - you know it's time for your child to develop their own identity and independence, but you still want them to be safe and happy.
We think walking can help. Walking all or part of the school journey is a great way to give your child the freedom and independence they crave, within safe boundaries.
It gives them time to chat with their friends, wake them up in the morning, and chill out ready for school. It is also some low-impact exercise, which is vital for healthy bones and muscle growth as your child's body goes through puberty.
Step Up is here with advice and encouragement to help you and your child choose walking as part of their school journey.
