A new teacher, a new classroom and a new routine can bring a mix of excitement and stress.
Many children need time to adjust at the start of the school year. Some children may show stress through stomachaches, trouble sleeping or not wanting to go to school.
If these concerns continue or begin affecting daily life, it's a good idea to talk with your child's healthcare provider.
One simple step: If your child is having a hard time adjusting after a few weeks, bring it up at their next visit. Call Umpqua Health Newton Creek Clinic at (541) 229-7038 to schedule an appointment.
