KRISTEN WELCH GENESIS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
The parents among us have likely had a laugh at the annual back to school commercial that touts this time pe- riod as “the most wonderful time of the year.” Fall is fast approaching, and that means getting back into the school year routine. It’s a time of anticipation and excitement, but, for children and parents alike, it is also a time of tran- sition and adjustment. Many children may feel anxious about going back to school after the summer break, and for those starting school for the first time, they may be un- sure of what to expect. Back-to-school anxiety is normal and understandable. Children require some time to figure out their comfort zone and adjust to a new environment – a new school, new teacher, new classmates, new schedule. It can be help- ful to take away as many “unknowns” as possible in the weeks leading up to the first day of school. Talk to your child about what they’re going to be doing in the upcoming school year, and make sure to attend any orientations of- fered by the school so they can become familiar with their surroundings. Take them to the playground with a friend who they may not have seen much over the summer, and allow them to get reacquainted. Talk to them about any social situations that may have caused them stress, and review strategies on how to handle bullies or other nega- tive situations. Role play with them and remind them of their options when confronted with a situation that caus- es them distress. Other ways to help your child cope with his or her school anxiety include: Courtesy Every day heroes 1. Send your child to school.

If you’ve never seen the show, I obviously rec- ommend it but be prepared to age a bit during the five season run. It’s an exhil- arating, rollercoaster of a ride with twists and turns that make you feel totally invested in the outcomes of the characters. I can’t sug- gest it enough. The summer is always a tough time for TV. With most of the shows on hia- tus until the fall, you’re left with a lot of terrible reality shows and talent competi- tions. One show that I got into and have enjoyed is ‘Graceland’ on USA. The show is about FBI/DEA agents all living together in a house and working on undercover cases together. While most of the USA Net- work shows all seem pretty similar and vanilla to me, this one has kept my in- terest through the first six or seven episodes and has been something to occupy my Thursday nights. Mad Men continued its run amongst my favorite shows earlier in the sum- mer, and the 60s drama has one more season left which will premiere in 2014. AMC has established itself as my favorite home for original shows, though with both Breaking Bad and Mad Men soon closing up shop, I’ll be interested to see how they handle the transition. The only show I really plan on following in the fall season is the CBS comedy ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ I’ve watched every epi- sode (thanks to some binge marathon sessions) and while I don’t think it’s re- ally that strong anymore, once you’ve seen that many seasons of something, you need to know how it ends. That’s how things are with HIMYM, as the final sea- son kicks off in September and I’ll be curious to finally know more about the moth- er and all that jazz.
