BACK TO SCHOOL TIPS FOR PARENTS

We have all been there. The first day of school jitters can be cray. And, while they are alot of tips for kiddos on the first day, the real people who need them are the parents! Let's be real, if we could go back and give our parents some tips they probably would look like this.

1. Get to School With Plenty of Time- How bad is it to be running late and you run to school and throw your kids out and tell them to haul to class. Don't make it worse. Get there with enough time for the kiddos to adjust. And, make sure the car has been gassed up.
2. Tell Kiddos About the Bathroom- Nothing worse then to take first timers to kindergarten and not let them in on how the bathroom situation works at school.
3. NO Long Goodbyes! - Don't prolong the inevitable. Walk your kiddos to the room or desk and say a quick goodbye. Having a  long goodbye can make it worse.
4. Pick Them Up On Time- It's been a long day at school, don't leave them hanging. They need to know your gonna be there for them on a constant basis and the last thing you want is them hanging out on the school curb with the janitor after everybody's done for the day.
