¡Back to school is officially here!
For many children, the start of a new school year can bring a mix of excitement and anxiety. A new school, a new grade level, changes in routines, academic expectations, friendships, or simply adjusting to something new can feel like a lot for children to navigate.
These feelings can show up in different ways and in different places, at home, at school, or both. You may notice changes in sleep, more irritability, frequent stomachaches or headaches, clinginess, emotional outbursts, difficulty going to school, withdrawing from friends or activities, or worries that seem bigger than usual.
It can be hard to know what's normal when adjusting to the school year and when your child may need a little extra support.
