school anxiety and stress

jrandall10

Hello all

How does everyone cope with school anxiety? Our Dm gets it bad on Sunday and end of school holidays. I try to just let her get it out but wondered is there anyway to help? 

Also she gets headaches, says there are lights behind her eyes and her skin gets very itchy/hot? Are these stress signs or do I need to take her to the doctors? 

She is seven, she has SPD and mild ASD

Thanks in advanced all xxx

  • Hi. Re- the headaches, lights, itchyness e.t.c it is possible it is her SPD, but any medical issue should be checked out by a Dr also. And see if their is anything troubling her at school. Ask her teachers if they've noticed anything that maybe upsetting her/stressing her out/causing anxiety. See if their is anything the school can do anything else to support her. Is there a school councellor or something, that can  help come up with coping strategies/find out what exactly is it that is triggering the anxiety: pupils/change in routine/having to be away from home/is she mannaging the school work...

    Other things could help, like sticking to routine at home, Not allowing her to watch t.v. before bed, go for walks to get endorphines going to counter react the anxiety, do anything creative/she enjoys that will take her mind off stuff.
