Back to School Anxiety
 
Many children experience some anxiety when starting the new school year. This is a normal response to a time of experiencing new teachers, classmates, and school buildings.  It is important that we provide our children with the tools needed to have a successful school year.  Here are some suggestions from the website: https://www.anxietybc.com/parenting/coping-back-school-anxiety.
  1.  Take care of the basics:  Children should be getting a good night’s sleep, eating well, and exercise.  It’s important to nourish the mind and body through sleep, healthy meals, and fresh air.  
  2. Provide empathy:  Talk with your child about his/her concerns.  Listen carefully to what they are concerned about.  Give them your undivided attention so they know you care about how they are feeling.  
  3. Problem solve:  After speaking to your child and getting an understanding to his/her feelings you can problem solve strategies.  Help them come up with ideas to reduce the stress of the situation.  Devise a concrete plan and discuss the outcome.
  4. Focus on the positive aspects:  Discuss with your child what is positive about school.  Provide encouragement and praise all accomplishments.  
  5. Pay attention to your own behavior: It is important to remain calm when children arefeeling anxiety.  If children sense anxiety from others it may increase their anxiety. Supportive behavior helps ease the anxiety for the child.

 The PE Corner
 
A message from Mr. Huhsman:  I’m very happy to be back at school and back in the gym.  I have many exciting activities planned for the kids this year in PE class.  Please get to know your child’s schedules, that way you know when to send them in tennis shoes on PE days. Also, please follow our PE classes on Facebook and Twitter, and sign up for my Remind 101.
