The transition to the start of school is more difficult for some than others. This webinar will consider children who are very anxious about attending school or separating from home and parents for a variety of reasons. Such students may actually refuse to go to school, or tantrum and revolt when parents try to get them to school. Strategies for parents will be included to help all students successfully transition to school.
