Hard to believe but this week it's back to school for most tri-state students.  Back to school usually causes fear, anxiousness, sweaty palms and  more.   And that's just the parents!

 In all seriousness, there are things you can do to make this back to school time easier.  Talk to your kids about their fears.  Especially for first time students.  It's okay to be a little scared....try to remember what your first day of school was like.  This includes first days of Middle School or High School    If you can,  put a little note of encouragement in their backpack or lunch box.   A little note from you might be just what the need to get them through that first day.  When they do get home after that first day show interest is what they have to say.  Ask them about things they liked and things they didn't.  For more Back to School advice CLICK HERE

Good luck to all students.....and their parents
