With the holidays behind us and the final dismissal bell just a few months away, now is the perfect time for parents to do a quick check to make sure your children are on track-emotionally! Changes in behavior can be a sign that your child is under stress.

Check to see if there are:

• Changes in sleep patterns or eating habits
• Reluctance to go to school or to show school work
• Changes in social habits, including fear of staying alone or becoming more clingy

Listening to your child and addressing issues are among the best things you can do as a parent. Not only will your child learn the life-long skill of confronting and addressing potentially difficult situations effectively, solving problems may also remove a barrier to learning.
