It’s back-to-school time, so we are chatting about how to deal with first-term jitters. Did you ever suffer from first-term jitters and how is your child handling things?
The conversation covers:
- Why do children experience first-terms jitters?
- Is change good for children?
- What strategies can parents use to help their children stay calm?
- Why is routine so important?
- How can parents help their children keep perspective?
- How does going to school foster independence in children?
- How can parents stay calm?
