It is wonderful to be back at school. We are aware of the busyness that is in front of our students with exams and assessments and the extra pressure of being in lockdown. For some students this can heighten anxiety/stress and everything can seem overwhelming. When this happens some of our basic routines might get a bit lost. It is important when studying to remember to eat well, exercise, drink lots of water, get a good night’s sleep, and don’t forget some family time too. Having a clear study plan can help to lessen stress, try planning your time. Include in your plan time for breaks and healthy snacks. Planning your work each day can help to breakdown what can seem like huge tasks into smaller ‘bite sized’ chunks. Being able to tick things off is a great way to see what you have accomplished.
For families a couple of easy to read books that might help when tackling anxiety are: Living with IT (A survivor’s guide to overcoming panic and anxiety) by Bev Aisbett Aroha’s way by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips and Aroha te whai ora, Na Karena Kelly I whakamaori. These are all available on line.
Good luck and go well Rachel Schuster and Paula Short School Counsellors schusterr@rotorualakes.school.nz shortp@rotorualakes.school.nz
