Back To School Is Coming!

Back To School time is quickly approaching and although Danika is too young for school we are definitely familiar with PBS. I love that their programming is educational and fun. PBS has sent me some back to school tips to share with you!

PBS PARENTS Experts Share Tips on Getting Kids and Parents
Prepared for the New School Year

Starting the school year can be a time of great excitement... and anxiety. Help calm your child's fears with these teacher-approved hints that will get everyone ready for the big day:

• Ease into the routine. The start of a new year can be stressful -practice your routine a few days in advance.
• Ask your child compelling questions. Specific questions help children picture what school will be like.
• Describe what will happen on the first day. This will help ease nervousness or confusion
• Tool up. Obtain the class supply list and take a special shopping trip, letting your child pick out a few special items.
