Abstract
The school holidays may be a time of rest, relaxation and zero assignments, but for some kids it’s a time of nervous anticipation for the coming school year.
They may already be worried about their new teacher, what friends will be in their class, or about the academic challenges are ahead.
Anxiety about going back to school is very common, and more prevalent in primary aged students, particularly the younger ones. Since the COVID pandemic, it has been observed in older primary school students too.
Whatever is worrying them, evidence suggests that caregivers should address it before the new school year begins.
