Student stress management during back-to-school

Overview

As the school year begins, students face various mental and logistical stressors. A survey indicates that 52% of students experience “overthinking” or racing thoughts during the transition from summer to autumn. Primary stressors include new schedules, new teachers, academic preparedness, clothing choices, and friendships. To manage these pressures, students utilize rituals such as listening to music or chewing gum.

To support students, caregivers are encouraged to assist with weekly planning and prioritization to ensure adequate time for sleep, meals, and downtime. Beyond logistical help, emotional support through active listening and empathy is noted as a critical way to help adolescents regulate difficult emotions.
