Summary
Kids dread school for more than just being tired—it’s often anxiety fueled by separation, social stress, or sensory overload. Parents struggle to balance comfort with encouragement, especially when school fears hit at the busiest times. The fix? Stay curious, not critical—ask open-ended questions, listen without judgment, and keep calm during meltdowns. Build predictability, offer small choices, and prioritize safety and regulation before tackling the problem. It’s a slow journey, but believing in your child’s resilience is the ultimate tool.
