Get a head start on the new year

It’s hard to get back into the swing of things after a long, relaxing break, so give your child a head start by helping her ease back into school mode before next Tuesday morning. Spend some time next weekend previewing the week ahead and what’s expected of her. Treat it a little bit like the beginning of the school year — it’s an opportunity to start fresh with reorganized notebooks and a clean backpack. With a little support, your child will enter the new year feeling confident, energized, and ready to go!
