The time your child goes to bed will usually not affect your child's performance at school.

It is normal for a child to feel nervous at back to school time.

Varying the place and time that your child studies will help him or her to better focus on his or her studies.

If your child is having negative feelings about back to school, encourage your child to speak to his or her friends about it.

Getting your child involved in limited extra-curricular activities at school is a great way to help them feel engaged.

Parents should not get involved in helping their children make friends.

Walking your child to school is a great way to help reassure your child if he or she is feeling negative about school.

Taking your child to meet the teacher and tour the school, may be a great way to alleviate some of the negative feelings your child has about attending school.

It is always a good idea to observe your child's behaviour and note anything that seems out of the ordinary.

Making your child's lunch will go a long way to helping him or her feel good about going back to school.
