Back to school anxiety is a real experience -
Tips for Coping:
* Talk to your child: Encourage them to express their feelings and listen attentively

* Validate their emotions: Let your child know that their anxiety is normal and understandable 

* Develop a gradual transition: Start easing into a school-like routine a few weeks before classes begin. 

* Create a supportive environment: Provide a calm and organized home environment where your child can study and relax. 

* Practice relaxation techniques: Teach your child breathing exercises, mindfulness, or other coping mechanisms. 

* Seek professional help: If your child’s anxiety is severe or interferes with their daily life, consider consulting a therapist or counselor.
