Are you dreading the start of the 2018-2019 school year already because you feel your child may have trouble transitioning, separating or managing their fears and worries in a new grade, or with new classmates or new teachers? From preschool to high school, youth commonly have anxiety about the new school year and parents often struggle at times to figure out (a) what is typical and what is concerning in terms of "back to school anxiety" and (b) how best to prepare their children to handle the challenges ahead in the next school year.
