Family Tip
Starting school or daycare is very exciting for children, 
but scary as well. When my son was in first  grade, we 
made a pair of "buddies". He brought his with him to school, in his backpack as a reminder that he was never alone. I promised to keep mine with me throughout the day. It's amazing how much better he felt and after just a week or two he no longer needed his "buddy".
