Preparing Your Kids for Returning to School
July 31st, 2009 by admin
As summer reaches its end some kids may be sad or anxious about returning to school. In order to ease them back into their school routine let them know that you are there for them and understand how they are feeling. Ask them if they can talk to you about why they are apprehensive about returning to school. It’s possible they are worried about being teased or bullied. Let them know that they should remain calm, walk away from trouble and talk to a teacher if they need to. Remind them that they will get to see their friends daily and may even make new friends. Let them know how important it is for them to be in school and that you are there to listen to them and can come up with solutions together to make it easier.
