We ask Rachel to share her top tips ahead of the workshop.

我们的学校辅导员Rachel George将在2月28日为家长举办一场“打败上学焦虑”的工作坊。该工作坊将帮助父母认识孩子焦虑的迹象，并提供克服压力的策略。我们请Rachel在工作坊之前分享她的最佳提示。

1. How to spot anxiety 

        如何发现焦虑

Anxiety looks different in different people but some common signs are: crying, whining, temper tantrums, withdrawal, nail biting, nervous scratching or twitching, loss of appetite or insomnia. If any of these behaviours have arrived suddenly and out-of-the-blue, it could be a sign of anxiety. 

焦虑在不同的人看来是不同的，但一些常见的迹象是：哭泣、抱怨、脾气暴躁、易退缩、咬指甲、紧张的抓挠或抽搐、食欲不振或失眠。如果突然出现了上述任何一种行为，可能就是焦虑的迹象。

2. Tell them they’re not alone

        告诉他们他们并不孤单

Everyone experiences stress and anxiety. Sometimes the things that make us feel stressed are short-lived. Sometimes they can last for a long time. If your child is feeling stressed or anxious, tell them that they’re not alone. 

每个人都会经历压力和焦虑。让我们感到压力的事情的持续时间有长有短。如果您的孩子感到压力或者焦虑，请告诉他们他们并不孤单。

3. Make time to relax

        腾出时间放松一下

After a busy day at school, children need time to relax and unwind. Time spent doing nothing is essential for their personal development and mental health. Make sure your child has time to chill out. It will really help them cope with the pressures of school.

在学校度过忙碌的一天后，孩子们需要时间放松身心。适当的放空对于他们的个人发展和心理健康至关重要。确保您的孩子有时间放松一下。这将真正帮助他们应对学校的压力。
