R. Mackevičius, concert host, stated that you do not always need to be a superman for your children who knows what to say or how to solve any problem, noting that sometimes it is more important simply to be together—to joke around and share what you like—and expressing his wish that this concert becomes a good opportunity for families to spend time together without thinking, at least for a short while, about the starting September routine.

Addressing Post-Vacation Realities for Children and Teens

The timing of the September 4 gathering aligns with the start of September for children, which means more than just a new schedule. Vaikų linija processes daily more than 260 calls and messages from children and adolescents. At the beginning of September, as children return to schools, new expectations, relationship challenges, the desire to fit in, excitement, or anxiety are added to the usual daily routine. According to Vaikų linija psychologist dr. Jurgita Smiltė Jasiulionė, not all children experience the beginning of the new school year in the same way. September is an intensive time for many families, filled with attention to practical things, schedules, lessons, and activities, but the psychologist reminds everyone that alongside all of this, it is very important to ask a child how they feel, whether they are calm, waiting for something, or worried about anything, as sometimes a single sincere conversation can become a very important support. Through the “Už vaikus” concert, Vaikų linija invites everyone to talk about the emotional well-being of children and adolescents not only when things get difficult, but every day at home, at school, among friends, or on the internet. Vilnius City Municipality Vice Mayor Simona Bieliūnė stated that it is important for the capital to contribute to initiatives inviting people to talk openly and modernly about the emotional health of children and teenagers. According to S. Bieliūnė, Vilnius is a city where children and young people must feel visible, heard, and safe, and the concert in Town Hall Square will remind everyone that children’s emotional well-being is everyone’s responsibility, requiring us first to stop and listen in order to be present.
