Back-to-School and Your Child’s Mental Health Communication Strategies
As students head back to school, the excitement of new routines can be accompanied by stress and anxiety. Changes in schedules, social dynamics, and academic demands can impact a child’s mental health in subtle ways. Signs to watch for include mood swings, difficulty sleeping, irritability, or withdrawal from activities they usually enjoy. Parents can support their children by maintaining open communication, asking about their day and listening without judgment. Establishing consistent routines for sleep, meals, and homework provides stability, while encouraging friendships and group
activities helps children feel connected. Modeling self-care also teaches healthy coping strategies. Prioritizing mental health early sets the tone for resilience and success. Starting a new school year can be both exciting and stressful for children. Parents can support their kids through intentional communication using these strategies: Ask open-ended questions: Encourage children to share feelings by asking, “What are you looking forward to this year?” or “Is there anything that worries you?” Listen actively and validate feelings: Show empathy and acknowledge their emotions, even if they seem minor. Establish daily check-ins: Create regular opportunities to talk, such as during dinner
or car rides. Encourage problem-solving: Discuss challenges together and explore possible solutions rather than immediately giving answers. Celebrate small successes: Recognize progress to build confidence and motivation. Consistent, empathetic communication helps children feel heard, supported, and ready to navigate the school year with resilience.

The woodshop students are preparing for their first project of the school year. They will be making "Corn Hole Boards". The boards will be the school colors along with an eagle on it. Sets can also be customized for you with your color(s) choice (within reason). All of the projects that will be made in woodshop must be sold to maintain the program for the school year so we will be selling them for $70 per set. If you would like a set, please contact Ron Motley at ron.motely@seagravesisd.com.
