Back-to-school is a key moment for children: new learning, new routines, new friendships. But it is also a time when health issues such as intestinal worms can affect their well-being. Common in children, these parasites reduce concentration, growth and energy. Regular deworming, especially before school starts, is a simple and effective way to ensure a healthy start to school.
Key Points to Remember
- Intestinal worms are common in children and often go unnoticed.
- They can cause fatigue, digestive problems, nutritional deficiencies and learning difficulties.
- Deworming before back to school helps protect children’s health and academic success.
- To avoid reinfestation, it is important to treat the whole family together.
Back-to-School Deworming: Why is it essential?
Intestinal worms particularly affect school-aged children. At school, where children play and interact constantly, the risk of contamination is high.
The most common worms in children are pinworms, roundworms and tapeworms. They may go unnoticed at first, but their medium- and long-term effects are significant:
- Digestive problems: abdominal pain, bloating, loss of appetite.
- Persistent fatigue: worms absorb essential nutrients.
- Night-time itching: especially with pinworms, disrupting sleep.
- Nutritional deficiencies: lack of iron, vitamins and minerals, slowing growth and intellectual development.
These sometimes subtle symptoms should alert parents.
Impact on Academic success
Worms do not only cause physical discomfort. They also affect concentration, behaviour and learning.
A child who is tired, sleeps poorly or suffers from deficiencies will be less attentive in class, more irritable, and struggle with schoolwork.
💡 A simple deworming treatment, given at the right time, can prevent these problems and restore energy and focus for a successful back-to-school season.
How to deworm a child effectively
Health experts recommend deworming children at least twice a year, especially at key times such as the start of school. It is essential to treat the entire family together to avoid reinfestation, as worms can easily spread between siblings and parents.
Preventive deworming helps to:
- maintain overall good health,
- improve sleep and attention,
- strengthen focus and learning,
- prevent delays in growth and development.
Practical tips for parents
Alongside deworming, a few simple habits reduce the risk of contamination:
- Encourage regular hand washing, especially before meals and after using the toilet.
- Keep nails short to prevent parasite eggs from lodging.
- Wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly before eating.
- Change bed linen and underwear regularly to limit the spread of pinworm eggs.
These hygiene measures, combined with regular deworming, strengthen protection for both children and the whole family.
