Back to School
Thankful my daughter & all the kids & teens I know survived their first week back at school. It's always a time of adjustment & if you're anything like me this first week seemed really long. My daughter was thrilled that today was Friday & she would have 2 days to play. I didn't have the heart to tell my little first grader that she had 9 months to go. These first couple of weeks is always a perfect time for kids & parents to make a fresh start & do things better than we did the year before. I really like these tips for their simplicity. Listen...don't fix. Take the time to listen to your child each day without attempting to give advice, give a lecture, or fix their problem. Just listen. Be involved without smothering. Don't overextend yourself or your child. Live more simply. Make it a great year!
