WATCH — Back-to-school tips and stories from kids
Mental health expert Dr. Carlton Duff also has advice
As you readjust to life with school after a six-month break, you may be finding that things aren’t so bad.
And if you’re still feeling worried, those worries will likely go away in a few weeks, said Dr. Carlton Duff, a psychologist with the Canadian Mental Health Association.
He was one of the guests on the CBC Kids News Instagram Live on Thursday evening.
Dr. Duff joined host Saara Chaudry to share some simple tips about easing the back-to-school anxiety.
“Do one thing a day that’s active,” he said. And “keep yourself brave.”
Contributors Émile Burbidge and Alexia Sabau talked about the recent videos they produced about going back to school and tips on homeschooling.
Saara also spoke to three kids about going back to school in person or online.
