School Has Started. How Is Your Child Really Doing?
Sometimes the first few days go smoothly—and the stress appears afterward.
As expectations increase, parents may begin noticing:
• More emotional outbursts
• Trouble sleeping
• Stomachaches or headaches
• Increased reassurance seeking
• Perfectionism
• School avoidance
• Irritability after school
Transitions require a lot from children emotionally, even when they're excited about school.
If your child seems to be struggling with the adjustment, you don't have to wait for things to become severe before seeking support.
Therapy can help children understand emotions, build coping skills, and develop confidence as they settle into the school year.
