Once the concerns are expressed, it is important to let the child have all of the feelings that come out, and then lovingly acknowledge that you can imagine how it feels. It is not helpful to cast off the concerns as unimportant or silly, or diminish the intensity of what is felt. Saying, “don’t feel that way” rarely helps. Children like to know their parents care about what they feel and that they are willing to take the time to talk through all feelings, comfortable as well as uncomfortable ones.
The next step is to remind the child, through past experiences, when the child handled these concerns well. You and your child may be able to recall times when a new friend was made, when a conflict with a teacher or peer was resolved successfully, when the anxiety of the first day of school passed and the comfort of the new class setting brought on pleasant feelings. Building their confidence and supporting them by recalling past successes will give encouragement and build selfesteem. Adding to this your faith, that they possess the skills to cope with the changes at hand, will go a long way in helping your child through the “back to school blues” period.
