Back to School Mental Health Struggles

SHARE NOW

UNDATED – Back to school time can be stressful for kids, and you can help ease that transition. 

Licensed therapist Scott Rendos tells us that getting your kids back into a routine can help reduce anxiety. 

“We don’t want them to struggle with school or any kind of social peer interactions,” explained Rendos.

Rendos went on to say that you should watch for anxiety that continues for several weeks, along with changes in sleep, behavior, or interest in activities.

If these concerns persist, parents can reach out to a pediatrician, school counselor, or social worker.
