[1]Although the beginning of thc school year may be an exciting time for many students, others may
be anxious about entering a new classroom. Fortunately,there are several steps parerlt can take to
help ease their children's anxiety about the upcoming school year:
[2]Communicate to your child that you care. Children who know their parents care about their
experiences at school are more likely to seek guidance from their parents about challenging situations
they encounter at the beginning of school and throughout the year.
[3] Try not to overreact. Transirions may be difficult,and it is important to reassure children that the
first few days of the school year are often challenging but their new class room will soon become familiar.
[4] Be calm and positive. Children are often able to detect their parents' emotions,so it is helpful to
model calmness and positivity.
[5] Work with your child to develop coping strategies. Providing your child with a few strategies for
managing tricky situations [e. g. what to do if called a mean name by a peer(同龄人)] may help them
deal with the challenges. However,if problems petsist,it is important to communicate with school
personnel.
[6] . Although it is not always possible,volunteering at your child's school allows you to observe
the environment firsthand and to meet school personnel. Your involvement in school also shows children
how family and school are connected.
[7]Helping your child experience a positive start to the school year is important as the transition back to
school affects children's attitudes,confidence,and academic and social performance. If your child
continues to be anxious about school or faces major obstacles,consider contacting your child's school.

in a new classroom.
