It can be unsettling to send your child back to school
especially if they are exhibiting signs of distress such as
crying, yelling, fighting, withdraw, or experience physical
sickness. Demonstrating your confidence in their abilities
rather than confirming their fears is the most important
behaviour you can model. Therefore, it is important to
continue encouraging their attendance despite these
adverse emotions.
If you are concerned that your child or teenager may
be demonstrating behaviours that extend beyond the typi-
cal anxiety associated with starting school, don’t hesitate to
seek additional support. Solstice is excited to present the
Children and Adolescent Programme, which offers a variety
of groups for children ages 4-17 to improve communication
skills, anxiety and stress management, social interactions,
language, resilience, and much more!
Group therapy such as Lego Club, Arts Express, Game
Masters and Supernova are examples of evidence based
social skills clinical groups run by a multi-disciplinary team
of clinicians at Solstice that teach and empower children in
a safe and therapeutic environment.
If your child is experiencing difficult emotions and
could benefit from additional support, contact Solstice at
292-3456 or visit www.solstice.bm to learn more.
