STREAM, N.Y., Sept. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Parents,
preschoolers, kindergarteners, and elementary schools face
back-to-school anxiety in the month of September. Many children
have emotions and feelings running high when they go back to
school. Fear, anxiety, and stress are not just limited to children
as parents also have pressure related to kids going back to
school.
Jomo Jesus, an 8-year-old
multi-published author, and CEO of the Super Happy Kid Publishing,
offers insight with his book for kids ages 2-7, the Emotions
Volcano and the Angry Vacuum. "New school, new friends, new
schedules are part of the back to school experience and the best
things are dealt with advanced preparation, positive flexible
mindset, and staying calm," according to Jomo Jesus.
"This is the key focus of The Emotions Volcano book for children
including neurodiverse learners with ADHD, autism, and anxiety to
understand and develop coping skills and boost their emotional
intelligence. Going back to school is about adapting, being ready
to learn to meet challenges with mindfulness, self-awareness,
self-care, and calm, flexible and growth mindset,", says
Sandra Clifton, the book's editor
and founder of Positive and Mindful Parenting.com.
Jomo Jesus believes that parents
and teachers need tools to help children understand how to manage
emotions. Fictional stories are a great way to show how having a
flexible mindset and being mindful to validate the feelings of your
child may help them to understand and manage their emotions as well
as develop higher emotional intelligence. Jomo Jesus explains that "emotional intelligence
is a vital skill for academic success as children must manage
interpersonal social relationships and also be focused and ready to
learn."
Some tips that he offers for children when learning to cope with
the challenges of going back to school are as follows:
1. Both parents and kids must maintain a positive attitude;
2. Be mindful of your emotions and others' emotions,
3. Practice and prepare to be ahead of your time schedule;
4. Visualize yourself and the environment and also visit the school
to allow yourself to be more comfortable;
5. Develop a daily positive mantra like, 'I am smart, I am
confident, I can learn from my mistakes. I appreciate and have
gratitude for the positive things in my life.'
6. Validate your child's emotions because they are natural and we
all have them and make us human.
7. Stop, Pause, Take Deep Breaths, and Think Before You Act can
help you manage your emotions.
"Although going back to school is never easy, emotional
intelligence is helping to transform lives and may allow your child
not just survive but thrive in school and interpersonal social
relationships," explained Jomo Gamal
Thomas, illustrator of the Emotions Volcano and co-founder
of Positive and Mindful Parenting.
