After months of remote learning and a range of COVID-19 restrictions, our young people will be returning to school routines, classrooms, classmates, teachers, expectations and, in some cases, even new school settings.
Amid the anticipation and excitement of returning to school, for some, leaving the home learning routine and environment may create anxiety for a range of reasons including: the ongoing uncertainty of COVID-19, the social distancing and hygiene measures in place, family circumstances related to health, grief associated with a recent loss; or economic circumstances.
To prepare and support students’ return to onsite learning and the classroom/school environment, you may like to consider the following tips:
Talk to your child about how they feel
Support young people to understand the school procedures
Familiarise yourself with school procedures
End of day emotions
Stay informed
Sleep and rest
Another great resource to assist families in the transition back, is a special report provided by SchoolTV. This report presented by Dr Michael Carr-Greg (Child and Adolescent Psychologist), outlines specific information for parents/guardians on how to best support their child during this transition period.
