Back To School Concerns And Worries

One of the main worries is how to help a child cope with bullying. The main strategy in the article below is to help the kid realize that the taunts and mocking have no element of truth in them and that the parents need to bolster his self confidence by emphasising his strong qualities. There is also a technique to teach the child to walk away from bullies and this can be practised at home. You will need a contact person at the school to make sure that things are not getting out of hand.

Other back to school concerns are about getting homework done and handed in, trying to get children out of bed for school every morning and how to cope with the unmotivated child.
