Gradual start to school year helps students adapt, says psychologist
Psychologist Maha Al-Shammari says easing into the school year supports students’ psychological adjustment to school discipline.
Psychologist Maha Al-Shammari has stated that a gradual start to the school year aids students in adjusting to the academic discipline. In an interview on Al Ekhbariya channel, she elaborated on the psychological adaptation process. This change involves transitioning from vacation freedom to a structured schedule, which impacts sleep and play habits.
Al-Shammari emphasized that this process varies among students, with some adapting quickly while others need more time. Consequently, families play a crucial role in ensuring the transition is not forced and school does not become a source of fear that limits play. The psychologist's role, according to Al-Shammari, is to offer psychological and behavioral therapy.
She clarified that struggling to adapt to school is not a disorder but a skill requiring psychological guidance.
