Therapist Melissa Day says there is also one question you should avoid
All children have school related worries, it could be the anxiety of making and keeping friends, homework related issues or the stress of an impending test. Seeing your child in this way makes you feel tense too but there are ways to address this.
Melissa Day Therapist at Niroshini 360 said communication is one of the most important tools for reducing school anxiety in both parents and children. When parents and children communicate regularly and openly about school-related issues, they can work together to address any problems that arise and find solutions that work for everyone involved.
When your child gets home from school, instead of asking “how was school today” which tends to provoke a limited response, ask: With these questions, parents can gain insight into any challenges their child may be facing, such as difficulty with a particular subject, social struggles or anxiety related to school performance. This understanding can help parents provide the support and encouragement their child needs to succeed in school.
In addition, communication can help parents and children work together to develop strategies for managing school-related anxiety. For example, parents can work with their child to establish a routine for completing homework, studying for tests or they can help their child to learn relaxation techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.
