School Anxiety

School mornings can be terribly long for a parent when a child repeatedly resists going to school. Sometimes there are things at school bothering a child. If that is the case let the teacher know. Sometimes home just looks a whole lot better. When the latter is the case the most important thing is getting them here. Whatever their mood or appearance if the child is in class whenever class is in session everybody wins. Usually within five minutes of arrival they are fitting right into class and doing their work. Children who are more sensitive this way often have a more difficult time after having some time off. Whether it is due to a vacation or illness this can start the tears flowing. Calmly and quietly getting them here is usually the best choice.
