Summer is almost over. Still to the middle of September but school starts next week. The big transition, the readjustment. For some, the same school. For some, a new school. Wearing the first day back to school outfit. From day care to Junior Kindergarten! The new teacher or teachers. The routine, the lunches, the lessons. Well the transition is the gearing up again for all the busy times.
How to adjust as a parent takes time too!
So organization is huge. Plan, calendar, everything ready- then sit back and try to relish the excitement that the children have. The fears! The happiness to see friends! The disappointment not in every friend's class! New learning! The homework!
As a parent, there can be your own fears. Your anxiety about the stress of it all. Breath. Take a step back. One day at a time. The readjustment will be there. You have done it previously. You can do it.
Transitions are not easy for anyone.
For those going away to college or university for the first time, a big adjustment for the whole family.
As the grandparent, I am here to help as best can be expected. Those PA will come along and I may be needed.
Transitions are hard for grandparents too. Seeing those little grandchildren growing up just too quickly. Enjoy the first weeks of school!
