How To Help Your Child Feel Settled At School

How can I help my child feel settled at school?

Give them time to talk. Allow them to talk about the things that they're enjoying, show a particular interest in that and at the same time listen to the things that aren't going so well, and be realistically constructive about those things. Be empathic in terms of sharing any experiences that you may have had and sharing how you overcame those difficulties. Give them time, because this is a prolonged process and the whole stage of school is about them getting to know themselves and how to cope with the world at large, and time is a key feature here.
