Going back to school is an exciting time for kids: Beginning a new grade, seeing friends again, getting to use all their cool new supplies. But the start of the school year can also bring up old worries: “I have Mr. Drummond AGAIN? He hates me!” And new anxieties: “What if none of my friends are in my class?” Thoughts like these may leave kids (especially ones who struggle with anxiety) feeling more nervous than excited.

This week on childmind.org, we’ve got new advice for helping kids handle back-to-school worries and dos and don’ts for helping ease the transition. Plus expert guidance on helping kids who struggle with executive functions, tips for managing mental health, and ideas for tackling teacher troubles.
