A month has passed since the new school began and hopefully your kids have adjusted well. Here are some tips to assist those who are still having difficulty.

We are now about a month into the new school year. For some children, everything is going great! Other kids, however, the transition to school has been more challenging. This is especially true for young children who may be relatively new to school or who are moving from kindergarten to elementary school, for instance.

Is your son or daughter finding it hard to get homework done? Are they having difficulty making friends? Or maybe they don’t want to get out of bed in the morning due to their anxieties about what awaits them in the school day.
