Kids aren’t the only ones who have to adjust to heading back to school—moms have to adjust too. Check out a "checklist" I compiled from various sources so that you can help your child—and you—have a great school year.
Talk with your child about any anxieties they may have, how to make friends & goals for their school year. Here is some conversation starters for you & your kiddos.
Make a special treat for their lunchbox, after school or after dinner. Celebrate the new beginning. And while celebrating ask them about their day; did they make any new friends, how is their teacher, what was their favorite part of school? My favorite treat is a local cookie shop. They make cookies in the shape of our school mascot & other adorable shapes. So fun AND yummy!
Reach out to your children's teacher. Let them know the best way to reach you & that you are excited about the school year. A little first day treat never hurts either. A little kindness goes a long way.

Here's to a wonderful school year for our children AND moms.
