Back to School Fun

After a long break from school (like we’ve had this year with COVID), kids can have a little more anxiety starting a new school year.  However, getting your kids involved in planning for the upcoming year can help get them excited!  And encouraging your kids to get creative with their school supplies and decor can help them feel a little more in control of the transition back to a school routine!
