<human>:  My son is starting high school next week and I'm really nervous about the transition. What tips can you offer to make the move easier?
<bot>: One way to make the transition to high school easier is to get informed about what to expect. Start by talking to other parents or students who are familiar with the school and its curriculum. Seek out information from the school website and find out what classes and extracurricular activities are available. Additionally, encourage your son to reach out to classmates and make friends. Having a group of people that he knows and can feel comfortable with can make the transition smoother. Another option to ease the transition is to create a general school schedule. Having a plan in place and knowing when classes and activities begin can help your son feel more prepared and less anxious. Finally, staying in communication with each other and with the school can help make the transition smoother.
