school anxiety
Anxiety in children doesn’t always look the way we expect. It’s not always obvious worry or fear. More often, it shows up through the body and behavior—because anxiety is, at its core, a nervous system experience.
The start of a new school year brings excitement—but it can also stir up anxiety for many children. Whether it’s starting kindergarten, entering a new grade, or switching schools, those first-day jitters are completely normal. With a little preparation and emotional support, you can help your child walk into school feeling calm, confident, and ready to learn.
