Whether your child’s summer vacation was
jam-packed with activities or filled with complaints about being bored with
nothing to do, kids often have a tough time making the back-to-school
transition.
Starting the new school year can be a time of
great excitement… and anxiety. As with any new or potentially unsettling
situation, allow your child time to adjust.
Help calm your child’s fears (and
your own) with these few tips.
Calm Nervousness: Let your child know that everyone feels a little
nervous about the first day of school and that it will all become an everyday
routine in no time.
Establish Positivity: Emphasize the positive things about going back to
school - such as hanging out with old friends, meeting new classmates, buying
cool school supplies, and getting involved in sports and other activities.
Develop Reassurance: Talk to your child about what worries them and
offer reassurance: Are they afraid they won't make new friends or get along
with their teachers? Is the thought of schoolwork stressing them out? Are they
worried about the troublemaker from last year?
Enforce a Routine: Switching from the summer vacations to a school
schedule can be stressful to everyone in the household. Set the alarm clock, go
through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time.
Routines will help your child feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school
routine will make the first day of school go much smoother.

Teach Your Child: Learning always starts at home
and your child’s mood affects how well he/she learns. A positive outlook is the
best thing you can inspire in your child to keep him/her performing well at
school and willing to tackle his/her homework.
