Patel adds that parents can do even more to \u201cremove the fear factor by pulling up the school website, looking at teacher bios, and maybe even sharing the pictures with their kids.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If your child\u2019s school doesn\u2019t offer orientations prior to the first day, Patel encourages parents to reach out to the school principal, administrators, or directors and ask for an individual 15-minute meet and greet. You can also ask for (or take) an informal tour to find out what their lockers are, where the cafeteria is, and find other important touch points your child may need during the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is especially important for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/pro-tips-for-helping-kids-manage-school-year\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"mbg-track-event\" data-track-event-types=\"click\" data-track-type=\"article-link\" data-track-prop-element-id=\"in-body-link\" data-track-prop-label=\"page_type | element_id\" data-track-prop-category=\"Link\" data-track-prop-link=\"https:\/\/www.mindbodygreen.com\/articles\/pro-tips-for-helping-kids-manage-school-year\" rel=\"noopener\">kids who are nervous<\/a> or those who need a little more reassurance,\u201d says Patel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re worried about not getting access, keep in mind that teachers and office administrators are often there anyway, getting things ready, and many would happily take some time to help a future student.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAnxiety stems from a fear of the unknown,\u201d says Patel. \u201cA new school year means a lot of changes.
