• Back to School:

    Read with your child books about Starting or being afraid of school. If they have a fear or seem worried, let them know it's "ok" and encourage them to share their feelings and talk it out. See books on Separation Anxiety. Share your memories of when you were a child and went to school (both good and bad experiences). School is an adventure, and like all adventures, it has its ups and downs.

    Ready.....set....homework! Ugh! Do you dread homework as much as your kids do? Work proactively this year to set up a better system for homework and stay positive! Establish a routine and work area, free up time (not too many extracurricular activities), provide help and not the answers. Talk about homework expectations BEFORE school starts. See the books on HOMEWORK which are helpful to both parents and kids.
