| I'm concerned about cyberbullying. | | | | A 2017 University of Michigan study found that cyberbullying is the number one concern parents have about back-to-school season. Tell your child to talk to you or another trusted adult if they are bullied. Don't respond to the instigator, but keep track of any emails or posts they receive. If the bully is another student, tell the school about the situation. Involve the police if your child is threatened. Learn more about the different types of cyberbullying. | | | |

| | | My child takes a long time to get ready in the morning. | | | | It's hard for kids to return to the early morning routine after 2-3 months of waking up late. Start sending them to bed earlier and earlier (e.g. 15 minutes a day) at least a week before the first day of school. If possible, allow a little extra time in the morning to avoid stressful situations. | | | | |
| | | My child is tired in the morning. | | | | Your child may need more sleep. Try setting an earlier bedtime and keeping it in place for a week before school starts. If they're burning the midnight oil on devices, use the parental controls to turn off online access. | | | | |
| | | My child gets overwhelmed with homework. | | | | Create a special homework spot free from distractions. Set a block of time for solely homework. Be available for questions, but resist the urge to do it for them. For longer homework time, allow a short break so they don't burn out. | | | | |
