Anxiety can show up in a variety of ways such as;<\/p>\n

\u2022 Feeling fearful or overwhelmed
\n\u2022 Headaches, trouble sleeping, irritability, or emotional outbursts
\n\u2022 Withdrawn, overly tired, or restless<\/p>\n

Stress can\u2019t always be avoided, but we can help to reduce it. Having tools and
\nstrategies ready to help cope with stress is very important so that we and our children
\ncan be less negatively affected. Some tools that can be utilized consist of;<\/p>\n

\u2022 Accept and validate your child\u2019s emotions
\n\u2022 Help them to find ways to cope with feelings of anxiety
\n\u2022 Deep breathing
\n\u2022 Drink some water
\n\u2022 Count to 10
\n\u2022 Belly breathing
\n\u2022 Trace your hand
\n\u2022 Senses 5-4-3-2-1
\n\u2022 5 things you see
\n\u2022 4 things you can touch
\n\u2022 3 things you can hear
\n\u2022 2 things you can smell
\n\u2022 1 thing you can taste
\n\u2022 Help them to find ways to help reduce the stress itself
\n\u2022 Remind your child that they can turn to other people for support, both at home and at
\nschool
\n\u2022 Assure them they are not alone<\/p>\n

Talk with your child about returning back to school.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Who are you looking forward to seeing this year?
\n\u2022 What is one thing you\u2019re hoping to do during this year?

\n\u2022 How are you feeling about this school year?
\n\u2022 What is something you are excited for?
\n\u2022 Is there anything you feel a bit worried about?
