Parenting twins certainly has its own trials, let along parenting school age children. Your concern for your daughter is clear, particularly compared to the relative ease with which your son has adjusted to first grade. Each school year, teachers must get to know their students, establish rules and a general atmosphere in the classroom, and set the groundwork for the curriculum. The period of adjustment in the more traditional setting where the children are assigned to a new teacher can last from one to three weeks. Often it takes that long for teachers to assess their new students, establish routines, and develop the daily schedule.
Children show signs of stress in a variety of ways much as adults do.
Some children may cry or have physical symptoms that they misinterpret as illness. Stomach aches and headaches may be the result of anxiety and not illness. Some kids may just say straight out that they don't want to go to school, but not really be able to tell you why they feel that way. Loss of appetite and lack of motivation are among other signs of stress. If you feel that your child is experiencing stress, offer her lots of affection and comfort by way of quiet time together.
