Being the “new kid” can feel scary, and even lonely at times. It’s common to be worried about fitting in, making friends, and finding your way around a new environment. Resetting your social environment is a temporary experience, and with time, you may notice a new sense of confidence, strength, and self-growth. These moments of change are opportunities to start fresh and learn something new about yourself and the world around you.
As a parent, when you think of the word fear, you might picture something big and obvious like your child being afraid of the dark or startled by a loud noise. But feelings of fear can also show up as worry, nervousness, or apprehension, especially in children when they experience something new. The reality is every child experiences fear or anxiety at some point. It might show up as your child being hesitant to join a group game, worrying about starting school, or feeling uneasy about a change in routine. Although it can be difficult to watch your child struggle with these big feelings, fear and worry are a normal part of development and actually play an important role in building confidence and coping skills.
