As the first day of school approaches, many children start to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. 💭💙
New classrooms, teachers, and routines can feel overwhelming — and that’s completely normal.
Here are some ways you can help ease those back-to-school jitters:
✅ Talk it out – Ask your child what they’re most excited about and what worries them.
✅ Practice routines – Start bedtime, wake-up, and morning routines a week before school begins.
✅ Visit the school – If possible, do a walk-through so the environment feels familiar.
✅ Use calming tools – Deep breaths, positive affirmations, or a “good luck” item in their backpack.
✅ Stay positive – Kids take cues from your attitude, so share encouragement and reassurance.
Remember, it’s normal for children to feel nervous with big transitions. With patience, support, and encouragement, they’ll adjust and thrive. 💚
Wishing all students and families a smooth and confident start to the school year! 📚🍎
