Back to School!

Back to school can be a very stressful time for both children and parents. Here are a few tips on how to make this transition from summer a little less stressful for you and your children:

• Send your little ones to school with a photo of you in their backpacks so that if they do miss you during the day, they can pull that out and feel connected to you again.
• Validate that your child may have many feelings about going back to school and that it is ok to feel scared, excited, happy, and sad all at the same time.
• Pack a special note in your child’s lunch with a message that you know will feel good for them to hear.

 

Remember that this can be a stressful time for parents and children alike and the more you can help your children feel supported, the easier the transition will be!
