The signs are all there…. school supplies are popping up in the stores, fall fashions are out, parents are exhausted, and children are saying they’re “bored.” IT’S ALMOST TIME TO GO ...
How are the kids feeling about coming to school? Excited? Nervous? Anxious? All three? Here are a few tips to ease your nerves toward the start of a new school year:
- Bring your child to the school and let them play on the playground. This can create a positive memory even before school starts.
- Start adjusting your morning routine and schedule now! Changing bedtime habits and morning routines slowly is much easier and causes less anxiety than making big changes all at once.
- Talk to your child about school. Listening, understanding, and reassuring them will make for a better start to the year.
- Ask questions. We are a team, and together we can make it a great start to the year!
