7、ss and noticed that the teacher, fresh out of college, called only on kids who scrambled to sit right under her nose. Dustin, who generally sat near the back, was ignored.

It most frequently occurs during times of family stress or when a child is about to enter a new school. Unfortunately, parents can feed a childs anxieties by the way they respon
9、d. With younger kids watch how you say good-bye those first few days of school. A firm “Have a great day, and Ill pick you up at 2:30!“ is more confidence-inspiring than “Dont worry, I can be there in ten minutes if you need me.“ Thomas Ollendick, head of an anxiety-disorders clinic for children and
10、 adolescents at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, treated one boy who was anxious about entering middle school. He worried about everything from getting lust in the new school to getting beaten up.

11、he message that something dreadful might indeed happen“, Ollendick recalls.

Often loneliness problems can be solved by social skills. “A child may need to learn how to loo
14、k others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk above a whisper or below a yell,“ Ollendick says. You might teach a young child a few “friendship openers,“ such as “My names Tom. Whats yours? Do you want to play tag?“ “A lot of kids who are very lonely have never been told anything good about the
15、mselves,“ says Miami teacher Matty Rodriguez-Walling. “If a lonely kid is skilled in some area computers, for example Ill often have other students work with him. That does a lot for self-esteem and helps the lonely child make friends.“ Bullies Students sometimes hate school because they are afraid
16、to attend. If your child seems quiet and anxious, or suddenly shows a drop in self-esteem, he may be a victim of a bully. The common advice for this problem teach your child to be assertive(过分自信的 ) isnt always enough. “Even when kids are assertive, the bully often beats them up,“ Ollendick says. He
17、recommends instead that elementary-school children tell a teacher. In middle school and above, kids should stick with friends and avoid places where the bully hangs out. If you have to step in, go to the principal, not the bullys parents. To avoid embarrassing your child, be subtle. When Dustin was
18、in kindergarten, two older boys began picking on him at the bus stop. My husband proposed a simple solution: move the bus stop closer to our building so we could keep an eye on the boys.

Optometrist(验光师 ) Lynn Fishman Hellerstein found that although the boy had 20/20 vision, he was having trouble focusing his eyes. “With glasses and vision therapy, he became an eager learner,“ Hellerstein says. Vision problems are surprisingly common, so parents need to
21、 be sensitive to signs of trouble. While reading, does your child cover an eye, tilt her head or lose her place? Does she hold books closer than the distance from her elbow to her knuckles(关节 )? Does she complain of itchy eyes, headaches after detailed work? If so, get her a complete vision exam tha

24、r, the alphabet or details of a story theyve just heard. If you suspect your child has a learning disability, ask the teachers about having an evaluation by the school psychologist, Martin and Waltman-Greenwood suggest.

27、 to the teacher. When she confirmed her actions, we immediately asked the principal to move Erin to another Class. Soon Erin had a new teacher and a new outlook on school.
