Their free time vanishes, their morning alarm goes off earlier, and the dark cloud known as \u201chomework\u201d rolls back in to their lives. You\u2019re probably feeling a little unsettled yourself, depending on how the return to school is being handled in your region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>But, don\u2019t lose heart. There are ways to recognize the common back-to-school stressors and watch for \u201cred flags\u201d in your child\u2019s behavior. To get a smooth start and prevent everyone from feeling frazzled, consider trying these strategies and tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;1. Watch for warning signs.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As kids take on new responsibilities, more activities, and larger homework loads, they are more susceptible to stress. Other sources of tension may include pandemic-related concerns, major family changes, academic pressure, peer relationships, bullying, and upsetting media content (for example, in TV shows, movies and video games).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, you know your child best \u2013 his patterns, his triggers and his hot-button issues. Be on the alert for signs that something is \u201coff\u201d with him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/health\/mind-mood\/stress\/labor-of-love-back-to-school-stress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Common symptoms of stress<\/a> include difficulty sleeping, headaches, stomach pain, and behavior changes, such as irritability, impatience and temper tantrums. If you observe any of these in your child, trust your instincts and intervene as soon as possible. Parents can help with managing stress and anxiety, but if the issues persist, some children may benefit from professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ask questions &#8211; and listen carefully to the answers.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Proactive conversations about returning to school can help defuse any feelings of worry, sadness or dread. As summer winds down, casually start inquiring how your child is feeling about going back, which classmates she\u2019s eager to see, and so on. The type of conversation will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todaysparent.com\/family\/age-by-age-guide-to-getting-your-kid-to-talk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">depend on your child\u2019s age<\/a>, but the goal is the same: to get them talking. In the early days of school, <a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/13\/5-questions-to-ask-instead-of-how-was-school-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ask specific questions<\/a> about how things are going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these chats, listen actively and show empathy. Try to remember what it was like to be her age. Don\u2019t leap in with solutions right away, but instead reassure her that you understand her reaction and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/08\/02\/well\/family\/6-things-parents-should-know-about-sending-kids-back-to-school.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it\u2019s okay to feel this way.<\/a> Listen \u201cbetween the lines\u201d and notice if she is avoiding particular topics or peers\u2019 names. If she seems overwhelmed by a variety of worries, consider taking notes during the conversation so you can eventually address the concerns one at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Embrace structure.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is busy, but staying organized and on schedule helps prevent missed events, last-minute rushing and unnecessary stress. Choose a high-traffic area to post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.todaysparent.com\/family\/how-to-get-your-family-organized-and-on-schedule-in-three-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a master calendar<\/a> that lists all commitments, appointments, activities, school events and due dates. You can even color-code it by family member, if that\u2019s your style. If you prefer a digital solution that can be readily updated and shared, consider downloading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/best-family-calendar-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a family calendar app<\/a> to keep everyone in sync.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a big-picture view of the week or month, younger children may benefit from visual aids to help them through their daily routines. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/teachingmama.org\/visual-schedule-for-toddlers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">many different formats<\/a> that can be customized to help your child complete independent tasks (such as eating breakfast and brushing his teeth) in the correct sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Connect with the teacher.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child\u2019s teacher can provide valuable insight into how your child is coping during the school day. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.readingrockets.org\/article\/building-parent-teacher-relationships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Build a positive relationship<\/a> with the teacher by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Introducing yourself at \u201cmeet the teacher\u201d night<\/li><li>Donating supplies to the classroom<\/li><li>Diligently using the teacher\u2019s chosen communication tools (i.e. daily planner, classroom website, blog)<\/li><li>Attending <span style=\"color: #ee2375;\"><a style=\"color: #ee2375;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.care.com\/c\/stories\/3264\/20-questions-to-ask-during-a-parent-teacher-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a parent\/teacher conference<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Regular interactions with the teacher (in person, on the phone or by e-mail) are helpful to monitor your child\u2019s progress, both academically and emotionally. If your child seems super-stressed at home, ask the teacher if she has witnessed any uncharacteristic behavior at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Manage homework.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Homework can be a source of stress and conflict, especially when the home environment is doubling as a classroom. If some (or all) of your child\u2019s schooling is happening at home, create a schedule with \u201crecess\u201d type breaks built in. It is also helpful to designate a distraction-free space that will be used for schoolwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay close attention to the teacher\u2019s instructions and due dates, especially for tasks that repeat weekly (for example, handing in a signed reading log on Fridays). If your child is struggling to stay on top of things, you may want to print out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.understood.org\/en\/school-learning\/learning-at-home\/homework-study-skills\/download-sample-homework-contract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a homework contract<\/a> that breaks things down point by point. Use trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/02\/where-to-find-free-homework-help-for-your-child-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online resources<\/a> to find extra help, if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Encourage friendship building.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents often worry if their child <a href=\"https:\/\/health.clevelandclinic.org\/8-ways-help-child-make-friends-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">will make friends at school<\/a>, and it\u2019s true that having a buddy makes the overall experience more enjoyable. While some youngsters are naturally social, kids don\u2019t necessarily innately know how to be a good friend. Interacting with peers helps young school-aged children learn social rules such as cooperating, sharing, being kind, and waiting their turn. Model these behaviors at home and be sure your child is practicing them with siblings, cousins and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Focus on the positive.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an upbeat attitude toward school, your child will likely follow your lead. Children who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutkidshealth.ca\/Article?contentid=629&amp;language=English\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">practice positive thinking<\/a> are more resilient and better able to cope with frustration or disappointment. When your child does well, provide praise, recognition or a special privilege. When he reports that he had a great day, make a mental note of the details so you can refer back to it when he is feeling reluctant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using these practical tips, you\u2019ll be better equipped to handle back-to-school stress. Sure, there will be some stormy days along the way, but if you keep your wits about you, you\u2019ll be able to weather the challenging moments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgive your children if they aren\u2019t overly pumped about heading back to school.
