🎒 Back-to-School Anxiety is Real — and Normal 💛

Middle school is a time of big changes — new routines, new faces, new pressures. It's completely normal for kids (and parents!) to feel anxious this time of year.

😟 “Will I make friends?”

😟 “Will my teachers be nice?”

😟 “What if I get lost or mess up?”

These are common worries — and they’re valid. But here’s the good news: kids are incredibly resilient, and with the right tools, they can cope and thrive.

🧠 Tips to Support Middle Schoolers with Anxiety:

✔️ Talk about their worries — listen without rushing to fix.

✔️ Normalize their feelings — “It’s okay to feel nervous.”

✔️ Practice routines — walk through the first day together.

✔️ Focus on strengths — remind them of past wins.

✔️ Create calm — deep breaths, grounding tools, and downtime help.

Back-to-school isn’t just about supplies and schedules — it’s about emotional readiness, too.

Let’s support our kids where they need it most. 🌟
