Help your child overcome school anxiety. A handful of suggestions based upon a study. Here’s one:
Stay calm/stay firm. Many kids react to their parent’s distress, which only increases their own. Anxious parents make for anxious kids. Similarly, the impulse is to give in and allow the child to stay home. As gut wrenching as it can be, do what you can to get them there. Above all, avoid punishment or coercion to solve the problem. It’ll only make it worse.
