A new school year can bring excitement, but for some kids, it can also bring stress and worry.
If your child is having trouble sleeping, becoming more irritable, complaining of headaches or stomachaches, avoiding talking about going back to school, or frequently saying “I don’t want to go,” anxiety may be part of the picture.
Listen. Connect. Reassure. Remind them they don’t have to handle it alone. If the stress starts interfering with everyday life, we’re here to help. Sometimes having a safe place to talk can make all the difference.
