Summer vacation is coming to a close. All the trips,fun activities, and camps are soon to be wonderfulmemories. Hopefully, your child or children had agreat period of down time and are refreshed and readyfor a new and eventful school year.I know many parents are quite ready for the new and eventful school year. As much as we love our children,they can be exhausting for some parents. Sometimes the down time the summer vacation offers breeds some unexpected and even undesirable behaviors. Whateverthe case, school starting brings a pleasant reprievefor many parents.Happy Day, The first day of school is just aroundthe corner. What do we do next as responsible parents?Run to the store to buy all the necessities to havea successful student. The clothes, tools of the trade,everything that could possible be necessary. We helpthem pack that bag and send them on their way. One major thing many parents tend to forget for whateverreason.You may have prepared your little one with all the material items he or she may need, but how about the head?Yes, the head and I don't mean what's on top. I mean theinside. Their beautiful head may very well be filled with a load of anxiety. For some children this anxiety can be very real and overwhelming. For some, it's healthy.For some children however, the anxiety of the beginningof school can be terrifying. Many different situationsthat may seem small to adults can be extremely difficultfor some children.For the sake of empathy, I'll give two examples.First, the simple act of getting on a school bus and findinga place to sit can be terrifying. If your child is not the most popular or even close, he or she may not know manyof the other students on that bus.The act of having to walk down that isle on the buswhile everyone watches and then try to find a seat to sharecan be sickening for some children. Of course, this happens first thing in your child's day so this could have an impact on the rest of the day.OK, maybe not the rest of the day. Maybe just until lunchtime. This is the second example I promised you.For some children, the act of trying to get place tosit while eating lunch can be very difficult as well.Try to imagine having to walk into a room and finda place to sit when you are not a confident child.It's easy if when you walk into the room and the othersstart yelling your name but that doesn't happen veryoften for the average child, let alone the quite childthat may not have many friends.Based on my own experience, these are very real,uncomfortable situations for some children that shouldnot be minimized.What can you do for your child? How to help your childwith that first day anxiety?I'll tell you. Here are some proven ideas.Talk to your child about these scenarios. Make sure your child knows he or she is not alone when it comesto understanding how difficult these situations are.Try to instill a sense of control which will easethe sense of anxiety. It won't get rid of the problem,but a sense of control empowers people including children.Give your child real control over the situation by sharinga few concrete suggestions to use that he/she is comfortablewith. Suggestions that your child feels they contributed. Make sure your child has much of the say and is comfortable with the solutions that will be used.The first day may be exciting for some. Remember, it may notbe so exciting for others. Instead it can be a head filledwith anxiety based on lack of control.Lets wish for the best for all our children. Article Tags: Some Children
