Beat the Back-to-School Blues

Some kids just love school or daycare. They wake up happy, bounce into wherever they spend the day with sincere enthusiasm, and are thrilled to see their family at the end of the day. And, then, there are the rest of the children, who don't think waking up or school or daycare is anything that interests them in the least. I happen to have three kids, each of whom has an entirely different attitude about wake-up calls and daytime activities. So, tips on how to beat the back-to-school blues is particularly handy. Now, if I can just get all three to leave home each day with a smile!
