Is That the School Bell Ringing?

As summer vacations are winding down and the new school year is only weeks away, stress can start to creep up on a family. To reduce anxiousness over their first day and help your children transition back into the swing of school, it's important to prepare them - and yourself - for the change.

• Listen to your children about their excitement and anxieties
• Log onto the school's website together to learn what's new in the 2010-11 year
• Start getting the kids to bed a little earlier each night. Practice waking up to an alarm clock.
• Remind them how much fun school can be by looking through old back-to-school photos
