Back to School Success Plan

Use Kid Scoop News to talk about going back to school with your child. Together, read the “10 Easy Steps to a Better School Year” article on page 3 of the September issue.

Ask your child how he or she is feeling about going back to school. Talk about how bad feelings can be worse when they feel hungry or tired.

Read the 10 Easy Step Tips together and work on a plan to make going back to school mostly easy-peasy this fall. But, remember, things can go wrong. The important thing is to let your child know that he or she can talk to you about it.

LET’S TALK: Everyone gets nervous now and then. And starting a new school year can make children especially nervous and worried. Make time to tell your child about times you have been worried about something new and the strategies you used to work your way through it.
