Since I was a kid, I have always loved back to school time! All the school supplies and organizing materials lining the stores, and the transition into fall weather and all the holidays! With the rise of Pinterest, a new tradition has entered into many of our lives: Back to School Pictures using First Day of School Signs!
My handsome boy decided to grow up and go to Kindergarten today! I watched as my baby boy put his shirt on and buttoned it up. He tightened up his belt and helped to comb his hair, and I realized my baby is growing up. I want to cherish each moment and make sure I keep these memories in my heart and captured them on camera too! So can you!!! So break out your camera.

Big sisters are school experts! I love that they told him every good thing there is to know about school and how much they loved kindergarten. They were there helping him get his backpack at the end of the day. He said they waved to him when the passed in the hall. These girls sure made me a proud mama today.
P.S. I found this adorable backpack brand on Amazon. My daughter is obsessed over unicorns and totally flipped out when this one came in the mail:
First Day of School in the News
With summer winding down, news outlets are beginning to run articles covering the transition back to school. On July 19, 2023, Ladue News published a great article about how parents can support their children's mental health as they transition back to school. Dr. Leticia Ugarte, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, spoke in the article about how to help kids make a smooth transition back to school.
Ugarte mentioned that being supportive and listening to your kids is crucial. If your child has a problem, they need to be able to feel like they can talk to you about it without facing judgment or excessive criticism. When it comes to going back to school, children can be stressed about all sorts of different things. From parting with mom and dad, to making new friends, to potential academic challenges, there are a lot of potential obstacles that your child can be worried about.
Ugarte noted that parents should seek help as soon as possible if their child is experiencing a significant problem. If their stress over school is preventing them from performing daily tasks or otherwise living a normal and happy life, it is time to get help. There's no shame in needing to get some counseling for your child; in fact, it can help set them up for greater success in the future.
Be sure to keep an eye on your local news outlets for articles about back to school. Many local news outlets will run articles on school supply drives, advice for heading back to school, and reports about information that parents need to know as they prepare for summer to end. By being prepared and in-the-know, you can help your child have a great and successful start to their year.
