School Concerns

Is your child dreading going to school every day?

Does your child often struggle with important academic tasks such as assignments and tests?

Is your child having trouble finding a supportive group of friends and peers?

Is your child nervous and/or upset about transitioning to a new school or starting school for the first time?

Children can face a variety of concerns in school that may affect their academic performance, mental well-being, or social development. Here are some common issues that can arise:

  1. Academic Pressure: Some children may struggle with the pressure of grades, tests, and meeting academic expectations. This can lead to anxiety, fear of failure, or a lack of motivation.

  2. Bullying: Bullying is a significant concern for many children, but they might not want to talk about it and feel ashamed. This can lead to emotional distress, a drop in self-esteem, and even avoidance of school.

  3. Social Challenges: Some children have difficulty making friends, dealing with peer pressure, or fitting in with their classmates. This can lead to feelings of loneliness or exclusion.

  4. Teacher-Student Relationships: Sometimes children may have difficulty connecting with their teachers or feel that they are not being supported in a way that suits their needs. This can affect their engagement with learning.

  5. Transition Phases: Moving to a new school, changing grades, or adjusting to a new educational system can be stressful for children, leading to uncertainty or anxiety.

At Thrive Child Psychology, we have a team of therapists that can help support your child to overcome these challenges and become the best version of themselves.
