Child Guidance Center is Here to Help With Back to School and Other Transitions

Back to school! An exciting and nerve-wracking time of year. Healthy back to school transitions are important for both students and families and can help to ease stress, reduce nerves, and encourage excitement. Talk to your children about the structure of their day and new adventures they may embark on like school lunch, lockers, or class period changes. Start new family traditions with a first day of school breakfast or an end of summer celebration. Gently ease children, and yourselves as parents, out of the relaxed summer schedule into a less flexible school-like schedule such as new bedtime and wake-up routines.

While end of summer transitions are great, they aren’t always easy. Child Guidance Center (www.child-guidance.org) is here to help, whether it is back to school or other obstacles along the way. Child Guidance Center offers comprehensive behavioral and mental health care services in 16 Lincoln Public Schools as well as outpatient therapy services at their 25th & O location. For an appointment contact the intake coordinator at (402) 475-7666 or intake@child-guidance.org.
