Back to School

31/8/2016

Going back to school is an exciting time for children, but like any big change it can result in anxious feelings.

Common worries include:
  • What if my teacher isn't nice
  • What if the work is too hard
  • Separation anxiety

Many schools manage this by having transition days before the holidays. This gives children the opportunity to get to know their teacher in their new classroom. Transition days help children to recognise that their fears are unfounded.

How to Help Your Child with Worries

Encourage your child to share what's worrying them, but rather than just reassuring them that everything is ok it helps to offer ways to solve the concerns that they have. Coaching them in this way helps them learn to deal with situations that might arise.

e.g. 'I don't know where my peg is'.
​'Would you like me to help you look for it?'

Help them to focus on the positives, what are they looking forward to? Will they play with a friend at lunchtime? You can also help them identify someone that they can go to if they need help, this could be a friend or a member of staff.

Are You Worried?

Children are very perceptive and if they sense that you are worried they will think that there is something they should be worried about too. It can help to plan something you can both look forward to after school, like a trip to the park or a special meal. It's very tricky to be worried and have fun at the same time!
