Back-to-school anxiety can strike as September inches closer. To help students and parents get the school year off to a good start, parenting experts shared their top advice with CTVNews.ca.
Avalynn Kwok, 4, holds her dad Manny Kwok's hand on her first day of kindergarten in North Vancouver, B.C., on Sept. 9, 2021. Though many kids and teens want the carefree days of summer to last longer, they will soon have to prepare for something they may dread: returning to school.
"I think the most important thing is to think about using August as a transition time for some of just the basics," Schafer said.Schafer recommends children and teens begin sleeping at the appropriate times at least a week before school starts so they will get used to waking up at regular hours., the few weeks before the first day of school is a good time to wean youth off technology if they've been allowed to use it more during the summer break, Sheinin said.
Criticizing and scolding kids about their spending choices won't be helpful, Schafer said. Instead, discuss money matters with them by making a list of needs versus wants. Give your child a gift card or cash so they can't go over budget. If a child is afraid of using a public washroom, have a friend go with the child or rehearse going to the washroom, Schafer suggested.
Having those jitters about the unknown is normal, but if kids are highly anxious and refuse to go to school, you may need a professional to help them cope with their fears and emotions. "The shorter that transition time is the more the child starts focusing on their self-regulation and getting into the routine of the day," Schafer said.
