Welcome back! First week back always reveals patterns. Here's what to watch for. 👀
Post-break red flags:
Expected (will resolve in 3-5 days):
• Minor transition difficulties
• Fatigue from schedule adjustment
• Mild resistance to homework/routine
Concerning (warrants monitoring):
• Significant school refusal or separation anxiety
• Behavioral escalation beyond pre-break levels
• Comments about ""I can't do this anymore""
• Physical complaints (stomachaches, headaches) that started with school return
• Social withdrawal or isolation
Immediate action needed:
• Self-harm mentions or concerning safety statements
• Complete shutdown or inability to engage
• Parent reports of crisis-level behaviors at home
The final term is short. If a student needs support, refer now — don't wait for ""a bit longer to adjust.""
