VALLEY STREAM, NEW YORK, USA, September 3, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Parents, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and elementary schools face back-to-school anxiety in the month of September. Many children have emotions and feelings running high when they go back to school. Fear, anxiety, and stress are not just limited to children as parents also have pressure related to kids going back to school.

Jomo Jesus, an 8-year-old multi-published author, and CEO of the Super Happy Kid Publishing, offers insight with his book for kids ages 2-7, the Emotions Volcano and the Angry Vacuum. “New school, new friends, new schedules are part of the back to school experience and the best things are dealt with advanced preparation, positive flexible mindset, and staying calm,” according to Jomo Jesus.

“This is the key focus of The Emotions Volcano book for children including neurodiverse learners with ADHD, autism, and anxiety to understand and develop coping skills and boost their emotional intelligence. Going back to school is about adapting, being ready to learn to meet challenges with mindfulness, self-awareness, self-care, and calm, flexible and growth mindset,”, says Sandra Clifton, the book's editor and founder of Positive and Mindful Parenting.com.

Jomo Jesus believes that parents and teachers need tools to help children understand how to manage emotions. Fictional stories are a great way to show how having a flexible mindset and being mindful to validate the feelings of your child may help them to understand and manage their emotions as well as develop higher emotional intelligence. Jomo Jesus explains that “emotional intelligence is a vital skill for academic success as children must manage interpersonal social relationships and also be focused and ready to learn.”

Some tips that he offers for children when learning to cope with the challenges of going back to school are as follows:

1. Both parents and kids must maintain a positive attitude;
2. Be mindful of your emotions and others' emotions,
3. Practice and prepare to be ahead of your time schedule;
4. Visualize yourself and the environment and also visit the school to allow yourself to be more comfortable;
5. Develop a daily positive mantra like, ‘I am smart, I am confident, I can learn from my mistakes. I appreciate and have gratitude for the positive things in my life.’
6. Validate your child’s emotions because they are natural and we all have them and make us human.
7. Stop, Pause, Take Deep Breaths, and Think Before You Act can help you manage your emotions.

“Although going back to school is never easy, emotional intelligence is helping to transform lives and may allow your child not just survive but thrive in school and interpersonal social relationships,” explained Jomo Gamal Thomas, illustrator of the Emotions Volcano and co-founder of Positive and Mindful Parenting.
