Autumn has begun and children are returning to school, and as a result childcare needs tend to shift. Often in families with working parents and at least one child in school, navigating schedules becomes a tedious, and often stressful, balancing act. During this time of transition, parents, child care providers, school staff, and children often become more stressed than they were during the “days of summer”.  Anthem EAP can help in providing services regarding work-life support, child care, and emotional needs.  The needs of both parents and children vary, but what is consistent is that the more support that is provided the less stressed the “village” becomes.

The following article addresses examples of back to school stresses and ways to navigate them.
