Feeling Anxious about back to school tomorrow

[tearsandtiaras]

My DD is back to school tomorrow. I don't know how I feel about it. Im happy to be pushing on through winter. I have worked the front line through Christmas so I've had only one day off. Terrified about back to school.

Feel weirdly anxious although nothing has changed. Christmas tree away.DD is getting ready , I don't feel ready yet not had the 2 weeks off I normally have.

How does everyone else feel?

What has terrified you? I love the new year - fresh start, new plans, looking forward to what we are doing this year.

Mock gcses's , the long days of work/ asc
Activities. The pressure of the grind and darkness at this time of year

Is this maybe a throwback to when you were a kid? That 'Sunday night' feeling?

Just remind yourself to take one day at a time.

If you have specific concerns about your DD's mocks could you sit with her and work out how you could help her? Does she need revision guides, help making a revision timetable or some flash cards that she could write notes on?

The sun is setting a few minutes later every day. Maybe look at the Met Office occasionally to see jus how much later it is to help you feel you're moving towards the Spring.
