Back in August, we wrote about how to talk to your kids about the back-to-school plan. It’s been 7 months since we made those suggestions and over a year since students left the classrooms, sports fields, and band practice halls for the first time. It’s no surprise that there is a lot going on for kids and teens right now. Many communities are allowing children to return to classrooms and activities full time; yet another transition students must face.
In this two part series, we include ways to identify back-to-school anxiety and stress in kids in addition to providing reasons why they might be stressed. Next week, be sure to come back and read about practical tips for helping kids cope.
