Every new semester begins.
There are children who have "started school".
There are all kinds of problems that don't fit in.
Parents also feel very strange.
I had a good time during the Spring Festival holiday.
Emotionally stable as well.
As soon as school starts, the child is irritable.
Even the body is not feeling well.
Is this "back-to-school anxiety"?
Guest of this issue. 
Niu Weiqing, a national registered clinical psychologist at Minhang District Mental Health Center.
In the second week of school, has the anxiety of the child's school year been alleviated? About "back-to-school anxiety".
"Anxiety about the beginning of school" is mainly the obvious difficulty of primary and secondary school students to adapt to the study and life of the new semester, which is mainly manifested as: irritability, fatigue, lack of concentration, memory loss, worry and fear of going to school, difficulty falling asleep, and not wanting to eat before and after the start of school. These are all signs of anxiety, which generally have no organic factors and can be relieved after a week or two of school. However, in severe cases, it will be accompanied by physical discomfort such as headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc., and it cannot be relieved by itself in a short period of time, which we call "school anxiety syndrome".
Anxiety about the start of school".
Changes in the environment, biological clock:
There is a huge difference between the comfortable home environment and the school learning environment, and students are unable to adapt quickly in the face of the sudden change of the home biological clock pattern of going to bed late and waking up late to a tense learning state of 5 to 9. Clinically, there are indeed adolescents who go to bed late and wake up early, and lack of sleep for a long time, resulting in fear of going to school.
Changes in interpersonal relationships:
Students are given a temporary "social break" during the holidays and need to continue to connect with their classmates when they return to school; For students who lack interpersonal relationship handling skills, it is easy to cause a certain psychological burden.
Increased academic pressure:
At the beginning of the new semester, students need to quickly devote themselves to their studies. During the Spring Festival holidays, when eating, drinking, and having fun are more relaxed, they suddenly have to enter into intense study, especially some students who are tired of school and have not completed their homework during the holidays, for whom the start of school is an event that makes them anxious and afraid.
Although some students have completed their homework during the holidays, they will be worried and frightened by the amount of homework they will have every day after the start of school, and then they will be more resistant to the start of school and have a state of anxiety.
Personality Trait Factors:
Children's personality traits are more sensitive, easy to worry and fear, afraid that homework will not be completed, and teachers will criticize them; Afraid of poor academic performance, unable to keep up, parents scolded; Fear of bad interpersonal relationships, isolation by classmates, in short, all kinds of anticipatory anxiety.
Disease: The child suffers from depression and anxiety, has low self-esteem, low self-worth, wants to go to school normally but self-denial or even despair due to the disease, resulting in low mood, pessimism and crying, facing the pressure of starting school and school, and even coping with the end of life.
Family factors: Parents' improper companionship and education methods are also one of the reasons for children's anxiety about starting school. Some parents often reprimand their children with words that hurt their children's self-esteem or hit their children's sense of self-worth, and these education methods often make young children at a loss, and older children are prone to arouse rebellion, that is, they do not get support and respect at home, and lack confidence and strength in school.
What should students do to resolve "school anxiety"?
The first step is to identify that you are irritable, unable to study quietly, or even have your diet and sleep affected because of the imminent start of school or the pressure related to school studies.
The second step is to accept your own anxiety, anxiety and frustration are the performance of students who have requirements for themselves and want to work hard, and they are allowed;
The third step is action, that is, what to do, "go with the flow, do what you should do", turn anxiety into action, do what is at hand in the moment, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, and do homework when you should do homework.
How can parents help their children reduce their "back-to-school anxiety"?
1.Reduce recreational activities and gradually increase exercise.
As school starts as school approaches, parents need to pay attention to using manual and educational games to reduce their children's use of electronic products, help their children calm down, move their brains, and concentrate to adapt to the start of school. For children who do less outdoor sports, parents should accompany their children to play ball, shuttlecock kicking, running and other sports, so as not to cause discomfort to children due to the sudden increase in outdoor activities after the start of school.
2.Communicate with your child.
Parents can choose topics that their children are interested in to communicate, such as reviewing interesting things about holiday life, satisfaction with the completion of holiday plans, what are the shortcomings and learnings, favorite books, movies and television dramas, etc., and dig out educational content in listening and communicating.
3.Bootstrap positively.
Encourage more communication and give positive psychological cues, such as having a lot of classmates to play with when the school starts, participating in interesting activities, and arousing children's longing for the start of school. In addition, accepting that the holiday has ended, taking the initiative to adjust the enrollment status, etc.
4.Encourage your child to make a study plan.
Parents can work with their children to formulate a new semester plan, complete the "channel switching" work from the holiday to the beginning of the school year in the discussion, and incorporate the children's books to read in the new semester, who to use as the benchmark, what subject grades need to be improved, and how parents can cooperate into the learning plan, so as to help children build confidence and eliminate the sense of loss after the holiday.
