Helping Your Kids Adjust to New Schools
According to Raychelle Cassada Lohmann, MS, LPC, there are several ways you can help your kids adjust to a new school.
“Use this opportunity as a teachable moment. Life is full of transitions and change. Fact is, we can’t always be in a comfort zone. Events and circumstances beyond our control are always going to happen,” says Lohmann.
“Go try a new restaurant, hang out at the mall, catch a movie, or go to a park,” Lohmann says. “This will help the environment become more familiar and after a while familiarity becomes comfortable. Also, go check out the new school. See if you can get a tour, find out if there’s an upcoming orientation, or other events that your [child] can get involved in.”
