Reason kids are often unmotivated to go back to school:
- All the obvious reasons such as less free time, homework starting, lack of freedom
- Also, anxiety over the school year
Reasons for anxiety
- New teacher and schedule
- New work load
- Not knowing other students in their class
What parents can do
- Don’t assume kids have the same information you do
- Talk to them about what they year will look like
- Ask them what they need
- Remind them of past years, and how they adjusted
