Reducing anxiety about going back to school after COVID19 lockdown

15/10/2020

0 Comments

 
As students are going back to school, some of the are running there and not looking back.  Others are refusing to go back, and others are going back but struggling to get through the day.

Wherever your child fits into the picture, they are facing change.

Changes to school structure - including drop off and pick up procedures, hygiene practices and how they interact with their friends.

Changes from having you around more often to not seeing you during most of the day.
Changes from leisurely getting out of bed, to having to be out the door by a certain time.
Changes from perhaps only to do focused work for a short period of time and then having fun/computer time, to back to being highly regulated in their activities.

And change, as you know, can be difficult and worrying.

One of the best ways you can help them manage this change is through providing some individual quiet time, particularly if they are used to having your attention during the day whilst remote learning.

For some questions to help with conversation and some recommendations to help with calming them after school click here.
