Some ways to help your child have a mentally healthy return to school: Talk to your child about what back-to-school might look like, start to introduce familiar routines early, and remember your own mental wellness in the process.
It's normal for students (as well as their parents and caregivers) to be a mix of excited and nervous during the transition back to school. School Mental Health Ontario / Santé mentale en milieu scolaire Ontario has put together an info sheet with tips to help support children returning to school at https://smho-smso.ca/online-resources/tip-sheet-how-to-support-a-mentally-healthy-back-to-school-for-your-child/
Check out their website for this and a wide variety of resources.
