Welcome Back and helpful tips for anxious kids

Welcome new families to Wheelock  School and/or Welcome Back to our third grade families!  

The start of school year brings on so many emotions; excitement and nervousness and everything in between.  To help with any of those nervous or anxious feelings I have included
this visual (seen below) with some manageable tips.

Another great resource for the start of school was put out by the National Association of School Psychologists, link found here: Back to School Tips  Some of my favorite tips include; putting a note of encouragement in your child's backpack and making sure there is plenty of time to get ready in the morning.  If the first the first week or so is hard, please know this can be quite common.  Try your best to remain calm, reassuring them while remaining positive will go a long way.  The schools are filled with teachers and staff who know what to do to help your child!



Hope this was helpful and thanks for checking out my site!
