As the official school year comes to an end, some children will be staying home for a short break and then returning to school during the summer. This can cause some confusion and/or anxiety during this transitional period. One suggestion is to get a calendar and write “HOME” and “SCHOOL” on the appropriate days. If your child isn’t reading yet, you can color in the boxes one color for home and a different color for school. Every day, show the child the calendar so he/she is prepared for what is happening that day. This will help with this often confusing transitional period.
