Managing Your Child’s Transition Back to School!
If you are a parent of a child who’s returning to on-site learning, you may be feeling apprehensive. Many children may have enjoyed online learning and feeling anxious about returning to school. In Victoria, today (09/06/2020) all school children from Prep to Year 12 are in the classroom.
Here are some strategies to help manage the transition:
- Avoid oversharing with your children, e.g. shield them from your worries
- Discuss plans as early as possible
- Get back into the usual routine
- Highlight positives of returning to the school grounds
- Provide positive reinforcement of how confident you feel about them
- Regularly checking up on them
- Know that the staff are there to help including the school wellbeing team
