Today's Tip: It's been a while since I posted a tip, but this time of year it's worth sharing.... children may be excited and anxious about the start of a new school year all at the same time. Finding simple, mundane things for them to do (not t.v.) will help ground them and give them time to process their thoughts. Visit the school ahead of time if you can, set up playdates with future classmates if you can, these little advance preparations will help. Just imagine, if when you started a new job you could see your work area ahead of time and go to lunch with future co-workers. You'd be far more relaxed your first day..... kids are the same, just not as sophisticated.
