Anyone else’s teen feeling wobbly about going back to school this week? You’re not the only one.
It’s a big change after the long summer holidays, and nerves can show up in lots of different ways. I’ve put together 5 simple tips you can use straight away to make the transition a bit easier.
One extra thing to try… after school, give them about 30 minutes of downtime before homework. A snack, some space, and a chance to decompress can help avoid meltdowns (or sugar crashes) later on.
Has your teen started back yet? How have they found it so far? I’d love to hear in the comments.
Save this for when you need it, and share it with another parent who might find it useful.
