Season 2, Episode 7 - Supporting Student with Anxiety on the Return to School

The start of a new school year, or even returning after a break, can spark significant anxiety for many students. In this episode, Charlotte and Carla unpack what anxiety really is, why transitions trigger it, and how it presents in classrooms through behaviours like avoidance, perfectionism, shutdown, and emotional outbursts.
They also share simple, in‑the‑moment strategies teachers can use to support students during those high‑pressure transition points.
A must‑listen for educators wanting to create calmer, safer, and more predictable learning environments.
