- Help your child organize their school supplies. Involve them in picking out their backpack, notebooks, and other essentials to get them excited about the new school year.
3. Talk About Expectations:
- Discuss what to expect in the new school year, including any changes in teachers, classrooms, or schedules. Address any concerns your child might have to ease their anxiety.
4. Encourage a Positive Mindset:
- Promote a positive attitude towards learning and school. Share your own positive school experiences and emphasize the exciting aspects of going back to school.
