The start of the school year presents a range of challenges for kids and parents, from worries about a new school or teachers to bigger challenges of academic pressure, fears of bullying or even violence, and social anxiety.

What can you do to help kids navigate the new school year, whether they are entering preschool or high school? We explore solutions, including when to involve a school psychologist or counselor and the role of peer mediators.
