Back to school is fast approaching and it is far from rejoicing everyone. For parents and children, it is often a source of apprehension. RTL gives you advice to approach it more serene.
The first thing to do is to play down the event and not put too much pressure on, whether for children or parents. On the contrary, the parents’ mission is to reassure their children and not to transmit their apprehensions to them. This helps them to project themselves positively in the school year.
Small actions can greatly help reduce anxiety linked to novelty. For example, take the time to discuss With children of their expectations and their fears can be very beneficial. Parents can also share their own back -to -school memories to show that these feelings are normal and passenger.
It is possible, if your child changes school, to go to the scene of the future establishment before the start of the school year to become familiar with the new environment that awaits him.
The key, anticipate
Concretely, we can prepare for the start of the school year without haste. A few days before the recovery, we take the opportunity to gradually change pace and find its usual hours. We are not going too late and we adjust the alarm clock to get up earlier every day, if we tended to make the oily morning during the holidays.
In short, we go back and train ourselves to find the pace of work. It is important to get back into the bath gently. This requires putting a little more discipline in schedules, to re -put some rules together. Like this, the start of the school year will be less brutal.
A successful school year is therefore an early school year. We do the same with school supplies. This can be a pleasant moment with children, who in addition prepare them psychologically at the start of the school year. Likewise, we can see with them the clothes they wish to wear at the start of the school year.
In any case, we try not to do everything at the last moment. If you manage to do things by taking your time, it sends the brain that everything is fine. This soothes, since stress manifests itself by accelerating certain physiological functions: the heart that beats faster and the tension that increases in particular.
Extend the summer mind
We can also keep some things a vacation and extend the summer mind, trying tostill have activities outside to enjoy the natural light that is with physical activity, one of the best synchronizers of our internal clock.
You can practice walking or cycling every day for example, and the weekend stroll through nature. Studies have shown that this practice was good both for our physical and mental health.
